Mythimna languida (Walker, 1858) View in CoL

Notes

Ten specimens were collected from Tassourte, Tamal, Timzilite and Ighalene. One female specimen is illustrated in Fig. 16 b View Figure 16 b . The species is notably recognised for its rapid expansion northwards and westwards in the western Palearctic Region due to global warming ( Yela and De Vrieze 2002). It is regarded as an occasional migrant in Europe ( Leraut 2019 b), with numerous records across the continent, particularly from the Islands of Corsica, Sicily, Crete, Corsica and Cyprus, southern Italy and Greece, the Balkans, Germany and Macedonia ( Rezbanyai-Reser and Hausmann 2000 a, Rezbanyai-Reser and Hausmann 2000 b). In Africa, the occurrence of M. languida has been documented in several countries, but there are no published records from Morocco ( Rezbanyai-Reser and Hausmann 2000 a, Rezbanyai-Reser and Hausmann 2000 b, Yela and De Vrieze 2002, Leraut 2019 b).
