Notes

One female specimen was collected from Timzilite (Fig. 7 b View Figure 7 b ). Rungs (1981) reported that this species occurs in northern Morocco, including the Rif Mountains and the Middle Atlas. The author noted that T. luctuosa had not been reported from the High Atlas Mountains, although its presence there seemed plausible. However, our findings confirm that the species does, indeed, inhabit the High Atlas Mountains.
