Distribution. Maghrebian species, distributed mainly in the northwestern part of Morocco (L’Mohdi 2016). In the Great Moulouya, it was known only from Zeghzel’s springs ( Chavanon et al. 2004). Our work has provided many more records and improved our understanding of the distribution of V. ioannis ( Fig. 4 ).
