Abstract

Abstract This work presents an updated list of water beetles of the Elmidae and Dryopidae occurring in Morocco. The study is based on an exhaustive review of literature (1914–2021) complemented with field and laboratory investigations on more than 2200 collected individuals between 1997 and 2019. As a result, 30 species belonging to nine genera of Elmidae and Dryopidae are listed with their distribution in Morocco and North Africa. From the 30 species, Elmidae are represented by 21 species and seven genera, whereas Dryopidae are represented by nine species and only two genera. A chorological analysis shows that the Elmidae and Dryopidae from Morocco are essentially Mediterranean (60%), with a very high prevalence of endemics in the broadest sense (77.78%) within this group, whilst those Palearctic species (33.33%) or Afrotropical-Mediterranean (6.67%) are clearly less represented. This chorotype pattern is notably different to that observed in other aquatic beetle families in the same study area, where the percentage of endemic species was much lower. Moroccan Dryopoidea include seven endemic species exclusive to Morocco, six Maghrebian and one Ibero-Maghrebian species.

摩洛哥蛭形蠓科的存在、分布和历史的更新(鞘翅目:蛭形蠓科和蛭形蠓科)

摘要这项工作提供了一份发生在摩洛哥的Elmidae和Dryopidae水甲虫的最新名单。该研究基于对文献的详尽综述（1914-2021），并补充了1997年至2019年间对2200多名采集个体的实地和实验室调查。结果，列出了属于Elmidae和Dryopidae 9属的30个物种，它们分布在摩洛哥和北非。在30个物种中，Elmidae有21个物种和7个属，而Dryopidae只有9个物种和2个属。一项分类学分析表明，来自摩洛哥的Elmidae和Dryopidae基本上是地中海物种（60%），在这一群体中，最广泛意义上的地方病流行率非常高（77.78%），而那些泛北极物种（33.33%）或非洲性地中海物种（6.67%）的代表性明显较低。这种分型模式与在同一研究区域的其他水生甲虫科中观察到的明显不同，在那里，特有物种的百分比要低得多。摩洛哥Dryopoidea包括7种摩洛哥特有物种、6种马格里布动物和1种伊比利亚-马格里布物种。

期刊介绍： Aquatic Insects is an international journal publishing original research on the systematics, biology, and ecology of aquatic and semi-aquatic insects. The subject of the research is aquatic and semi-aquatic insects, comprising taxa of four primary orders, the Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera but also aquatic and semi-aquatic families of Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera, as well as specific representatives of Hymenoptera , Lepidoptera, Mecoptera, Megaloptera , and Neuroptera that occur in lotic and lentic habitats during part of their life cycle. Studies on other aquatic Hexapoda (i.e., Collembola) will be only accepted if space permits. Papers on other aquatic Arthropoda (e.g., Crustacea) will not be considered, except for those closely related to aquatic and semi-aquatic insects (e.g., water mites as insect parasites). The topic of the research may include a wide range of biological fields. Taxonomic revisions and descriptions of individual species will be accepted especially if additional information is included on habitat preferences, species co-existing, behavior, phenology, collecting methods, etc., that are of general interest to an international readership. Descriptions based on single specimens are discouraged. Detailed studies on morphology, physiology, behavior, and phenology of aquatic insects in all stadia of their life cycle are welcome as well as the papers with molecular and phylogenetic analyses, especially if they discuss evolutionary processes of the biological, ecological, and faunistic formation of the group.
