Glaucopsyche melanops (Boisduval 1828) View in CoL ( Lycaenidae ) **
L15; 20/III/2019, 1 female ex. v., coll. EZ.
Comment: One of three species documented in Ceuta with only a single sighting, representing the first record for the Autonomous City. A female was captured in mid-March in low scrub dominated by C. monspeliensis , C. crispus , and L. stoechas . Northern Moroccan (e.g., Rif, Beni Snassen massif, Middle Atlas ) and Ceutan populations belong to the subspecies G. melanops algirica (Heyne, 1895) ( Tarrier & Delacre, 2008; Leraut, 2016; Tarrier, 2025c).
