Two species of beetles, “Glycia rufolimbata Maindron 1905” and “Anister raffrayi Grouvelle 1905”, were discovered for the first time in Morocco, specifically in the Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab region of the southern provinces, specifically in Adrar Sotuf and the Imlili sandflat.
A recent study published by the Scientific Institute in Rabat revealed that Morocco has become a new habitat for these types of beetles, previously not recorded in the country.
The study highlighted the significance of the southern regions as a refuge and a space for biological diversity, noting that the presence of the “Glycia rufolimbata” beetle in the Imlili sandflat is intriguing, as it currently represents the northernmost point for this species in North Africa.
