Velia (Plesiovelia) currens
(Fabricius, 1794)
Distribution.
Holo-Mediterranean species. In eastern
Morocco
, it was recorded by
Vidal (1937)
at Debdou (
Fig. 5
). Since then, it has been found only in the Middle Atlas in two localities (
Touabay et
al.
2002
). We did not study material of this species. However, its presence in Maghreb is unlikely because it is currently considered as a species limited to
Italy
and surrounding countries (
Cianferoni & Santini 2012
).
