We present an update of the Moroccan Eulophidae following samples collected in the Maâmora forest between 2012 and 2014, and completed with a thorough bibliographic study. We report seven genera for the first time in Morocco: Allocerastichus Masi, 1924; Euderomphale Girault, 1916; Eulophus Geoffroy, 1762; Euplectrus Westwood, 1832; Microlycus Thomson, 1878; Tamarixia Masi, 1924 and Trjapitzinichus Kostjukov & Kosheleva, 2006 and six species: Baryscapus impeditus (Nees, 1864); Ceranisus menes (Walker, 1839); Elachertus lateralis (Spinola, 1808); Elasmus atratus Howard, 1897; Microlycus biroi (Erdös, 1951) and Trjapitzinichus politus (Graham, 1991). A possible new species (Baryscapus n. sp.) and two unidentified species (Allocerastichus sp. and Euderomphale sp.) are included in the list of Moroccan Eulophidae.Sampling Description
Study Extent
Samples were collected at three stations in the Maâmora forest (Fig. 1): Taïcha (Station 1), 34° 13' 29,5" N, 6° 39' 04,8" W, 36 m; Aïn Johra (Station 2), 34° 06' 34,2" N, 6° 19' 04,0" W, 175 m; Aïn Assou Kceïbia (Station 3), 34° 12' 07,9" N, 6° 15' 10,8" W, 84 m. This work has been completed through a bibliographic researchSampling
The samples were collected once a week using Malaise traps during the following periods: from May 26th to October 8th in 2012, from May 24th to September 23rd in 2013, and from November 27th to June 14th in 2013. After sorting, the specimens were preserved in alcohol at 70° for identificationQuality Control
Identifications are based on Narendran (2011); Triapitsyn and Headrick (1995); Protasov et al. (2007a, 2007b); Bouček (1959, 1977, 1988); Erdös (1954); Harris (1979); Delucchi and Remaudière (1966); Bouček and Askew (1968a); Graham (1987, 1991); Doğanlar et al. 2011; LaSalle (1994).Method steps
