Distribution.
Moroccan endemism. The description of the species is based on the
holotype
of our samples (Millán
et al.
2016). We found the largest population of this species at Low Moulouya (Taybi 2016), which is distributed from the “Safsaf” territory to the “Cap de l'Eau“bridge (see
Fig. 6
). Its presence in Oued Sebou must be confirmed by new collections.
A. pemae
is among the rarest and most vulnerable species in
Morocco
(L’Mohdi 2016, Millán
et al.
2016).
