Distribution. This is a Europeo-Maghrebian species. In Morocco, it is linked to medium and high elevations (L’Mohdi 2016). However, our collections extend considerably the elevational range of this species ( 168 m, Oued Ouzej). This is the first time that A. najas has been recorded in the Moulouya River basin and the Oriental Region ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ). Damgaard (2006) pointed out a possible hybridization between A. najas and A. cinereus .
