Abstract

Eighteen species of Limoniidae and two species of Pediciidae are recorded for the first time in Morocco, of which 15 species are new to North Africa. An updated checklist of Moroccan short-palped craneflies (Limoniidae and Pediciidae) is appended, containing 73 species in 25 genera.

First record of Phyllolabis savtshenkoi (Diptera, Limoniidae) in Morocco

“…The Limoniidae fauna has been little studied in Morocco; it was only recently that attracted the attention of taxonomists, we now recognize 67 species to occur in the country (Driauach and Belqat 2016). Recent field surveys conducted on the oriental region of Morocco have led to the discovery of a new record for the country and two for the region represented here.…”

“…High Atlas and the Rif(Driauach and Belqat 2016), we record it for the first time in the Oriental region of the country. Known to occur in a few European countries.…”
