* Glauvarovia mendizabali

is known from the localities indicated in the description of the species, i.e., Taguerzimet = Taguerzimt, 24°07’19”N, 15°06’42”W (type locality), and Bu Kerch = Boukarche, 24°55’16”N, 14°44’23”W (MNCN); three additional specimens from the lower valley of the Oued Dra are preserved in the MNHN ( Morales Agacino & Descamps 1968). This species has been collected however during three field trips (1944, 1945 and 1946: see infra), but these data were not considered by Morales Agacino & Descamps (1968) who limited the distribution of G. mendizabali to the region north of the Oued Dra valley. Recently, Massa (2012) checked the identity of a male collected at Pozo Mesit (Saquia Al Hamra region, 6.XI.1944, Mateu J. col., MNHN), further extending the distribution of the species.

Morales Agacino (1947a) mentioned eight additional localities for G. mendizabali , from the lower Oued Dra Valley to the Sebkhat Ad-Dame (Rio de Oro bay) over 600 km of coastline: Aserifa (D) = Asrifa, 28°17’24”N, 11°24’37”W; Taruma = Touaroum, 26°46’15”N, 13°30’58”W; Dora = Dawra, 27°25’14”N, 12°59’21”W; Sebja Tah = Sebkhat Tah, 27°41’60”N, 12°48’00”W; Sebja Echaiba = Lajcheb, 27°16’12”N, 13°06’36”W; El Kantara =Al Gantra, 26°03’24”N, 14°04’17”W; Pozo Tuf = Ayn Touf, 24°36’13”N, 14°59’17”W; Sebja Dam = Sebkhat Ad-Dame, 23°55’48”N, 15°35’60”W.
