Type locality. [ Morocco] Gada de Debdou, Basse Moulouya ( Hoffmann, 1954).

Type material examined. Holotype: 1 spec. ( MNHN, Hoffmann coll.), ‘Gada de / Debdou 1500 [hw] / (Bse Moulouya) / Kocher 3/52 [p] // Type [hw, red] // Desbrochersella / maroccana m. [hw] / A. Hoffmann det. [p] // MUSÉUM PARIS [p] / coll. / A. Hoffmann [hw]’.

Remarks. The holotype of Desbrochersella maroccana is 2.63 mm long. This species is similar to C. chevrolati in the small body with oval elytra, but it differs from that species by blackish integument, raised elytral setae distinct, about as long as half of width of one interval, appressed elytral scales with greenish sheen and funicle segments 6 and 7 transverse.
