Comment: Our unpublished chromosomal data for Algeria and Morocco indicate the presence of multiple cytoforms, but S. ornatum sensu stricto is not among them. The cytoforms in the S. ornatum complex in Algeria and Morocco are possibly undescribed species. Simulium ( Simulium ) trifasciatum Curtis, 1839 Morocco: Rif: Belqat et al.
