The
type
locality is unknown; labels on
syntypes
report only the name of the collector (Vaucher); La Greca (1993) considered that the
type
locality should be in the western High Atlas. This very small species (Table 3) is characterized by flat pronotum and low pronotum keel (

,

); the phallic complex shows very short apex of aedeagus valves, that are wide and not pedunculate; the basal part shows 4–5 columnar keels per side (
Fig. 134
). Mesosternal space in females is 1.5–2.0 times wider than long, and metasternal space 2.0–2.5 times wider than long (

).
