Notes

Five specimens were collected from Taddart. One male specimen is illustrated in Fig. 5 c View Figure 5 c . Although Rungs (1981), summarising his own studies and earlier works by other researchers, had not documented C. elocata in the High Atlas Mountains, he speculated on its potential presence there. This species has previously been recorded in the Atlantic lowlands, low mountains (mainly in the north-western region of Morocco), the Souss Region and the Middle Atlas.
