DOI: 10.3897/alpento.7.108448

Authors: Vivien Cosandey

Abstract: The first Orchesiini of South Africa, Parvapila lyncispinnae gen. nov. and sp. nov., is described. Specimens were collected at the foot of the Langeberg Range and of the Kogelberg, mountains of Western Cape. Individuals were collected by sifting soil litter in Afromontane forests, an endemic vegetation community of Afrotropical mountainous areas.

Anchonidium selvanum sp. nov. (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Molytinae) from northern Portugal https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/article/111490/ Alpine Entomology 7: 195-200

DOI: 10.3897/alpento.7.111490

Authors: Christoph Germann, Carlo Braunert

Abstract: The fourth species of Anchonidium sensu stricto from Western Europe is described, photographed and compared with its congeners; an updated key of the genus is given. The habitat in the northern mountain chains in Portugal in the native Quercus mountain forests is characterized and illustrated.

First report of Cloeon vanharteni Gattolliat & Sartori, 2008 (Baetidae, Ephemeroptera) in the Maghreb https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/article/109562/ Alpine Entomology 7: 143-152

DOI: 10.3897/alpento.7.109562

Authors: Mokhtar Benlasri, Laurent Vuataz, Jean-Luc Gattolliat, Arne J. Beermann, Heribert Leßner, Majida El Alami El Moutaouakil, Mohamed Ghamizi, Elisabeth Berger

Abstract: Cloeon vanharteni Gattolliat & Sartori, 2008 was newly discovered in the framework of our study of Ephemeroptera in the Draa basin, located in the southern region of the High Atlas in Morocco. This discovery is rather unexpected as the species was never reported outside the Arabian Peninsula and Levant; it is thus the first record for the Maghreb. The identification was based on morphological evidence and confirmed by the mitochondrial COI barcode.

Inventory and pattern of distribution of mayflies (Insecta, Ephemeroptera) in the Draa river basin, southern Morocco https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/article/96436/ Alpine Entomology 7: 13-20

DOI: 10.3897/alpento.7.96436

Authors: Mokhtar Benlasri, Nils Kaczmarek, Majida El Alami, Mohamed Ghamizi, Elisabeth Berger

Abstract: The Draa river basin is located south of the High Atlas Mountain rangee in Morocco. The Ephemeroptera (mayflies) fauna of its three sub-basins: the High, Middle, and Lower Draa are poorly known. This study contributes to the knowledge of Ephemeroptera and its distribution in relation to environmental parameters in this area. The larvae of Ephemeropteran species were collected during six field campaigns in 17 sites using a Surber sampler. A total of thirteen species belonging to ten genera and five families were identified. among which seven taxa were recorded for the first time in the southern Atlas area: Baetis maurus, Baetis rhodani, Cheleocloeon dimorphicum, Cloeon simile, Procloeon stagnicola, Labiobaetis neglectus and Oligoneuriopsis skhounate. The limits of distribution of most species can be explained by the increase in water temperature and electrical conductivity especially at lower altitudes.
