Velia (Plesiovelia) noualhieri iberica Puton, 1889

Material examined. Oued Mariouari, 12.0 5.16, 1 m.

Distribution. Ibero-Maghrebian species, distributed mainly in the northwestern part in Morocco (L’Mohdi 2016). V. noualhieri was recorded by Vidal (1937) in the Oriental Region at Melilla, but without exact localities. After 80 years, we have rediscovered it in the same area. During the sampling period, V. noualhieri iberica was found in the vicinity of Nador’ ( Fig. 2 ) within the Oriental Rif.
