Description

Tyrrhenoleuctra tangerina (Navás 1922)

All the Maghrebin Tyrrhenoleuctra are considered to belong to the same species, T. tangerina (Yasri-Cheboubi et al. 2013).

Material examined. Middle-Atlas: Taza, above Bab Hzhar, 1000 m, brook and spring, Oued el Abod tributary, 13.04.201 3, 4♂, 9♀; 6.06.201 3, 14♀ (VIN), 1♀ (ERR).

Distribution. First records for the Middle-Atlas. T. tangerina occurs in central and western Maghreb, from Morocco to Tunisia, and in southern Spain (Yasri-Cheboubi et al. 2013, Errochdi et al. 2014).

Ecology. It mainly occurs in small temporary streams at moderate altitude (100-1400 m) that often dry in summer and autumn corresponding to the “thermophile association” (Aubert 1963). Flight period II-VI, but more frequently in winter (II-III).
