Platyderus (Eremoderus) insignitus presaharensis Lagar Mascaro , 1978 Fig. 18 Platyderus insignitus presaharensis Lagar Mascaro , 1978: 31 (type locality: "cueva [cave] Kef Aziza, Tazzouguert", Morocco). References. Platyderus insignitus presahariensis [sic]: Hovorka 2017 : 756. Type material. Holotype probably in Museu de Ciencies Naturals de Barcelona. Not examined. Other material examined. None. Diagnosis. Differs from nominotypical subspecies by pronotum sides more parallel to pronotum base and not sinuate before posterior angles, which are right and rounded, somewhat longer antennae, with antennomeres 9-11 exceeding pronotum base, and elytral striae well-impressed ( Lagar Mascaro 1978 : 31). Habitat. The holotype was collected in the cave Kef Aziza, a 4.5 km long cave near river Oued Guir and village of Ksar Tazougart, one of the longest caves in Morocco. It seems to be a trogloxene or subtroglophile that tends to temporarily inhabit subterranean habitats, but also strongly associated with aboveground habitats. Distribution. Errachidia Province, Draa-Tafilalet Region, Eastern-Central Morocco (Fig. 18 ).
