The Carabidae play an increasing role in biodiversity conservation and ecological monitoring, making a faunistic update all the more necessary. Carabids, however, are poorly known considering their diversity in the world. Also known as ground beetles, they are the fourth most diverse group within the Coleoptera, but the amount of published data sets from Morocco is disproportionately small; many species and regions have yet to be well researched. In an effort to fill this gap, we studied the faunistic composition of the carabidae in the north-west of Morocco between spring 2019 and summer 2020 at three different habitat types using two types of traps. Here we present new data on some rare and poorly known Carabidae in Morocco: Pterostichus (Sterocorus) globosus ssp. globosus (Fabricius, 1792), Poecilus (Parapedius) decipiens ssp. decipiens (Waltl, 1835), Harpalus neglectus alluaudi (Antoine, 1922), Graniger cordicollis (Audinet Serville, 1821), Brachinus (Brachinus) efflans (Dejean, 1830), Brachinus (Brachinidius) angustatus (Dejean, 1831), Carabus (Macrothorax) rugosus ssp. rugosus (Fabricius, 1792) and Siagona dejeani (Rambur, 1838). Our results contribute to the knowledge of the Moroccan carabid fauna by introducing eight new localities of terrestrial insects that were poorly unknown and infrequently reported in Morocco over the past 20 years.

Beetles play a crucial role in the functioning of the forest ecosystems, serving as good bioindicators for conservation. However, knowledge about the distribution and conservation status of beetles in Morocco is still limited. To update and supplement existing information, an inventory of beetles in forest habitats of the Central Plateau was carried out over two years (2019 and 2020) using various traps and direct prospecting techniques. This inventory identified 90 species belonging to 32 families. Among these species twelve are endemic and six species are new to Morocco. This study has contributed to the knowledge of the Moroccan entomofauna and revealed the conservation status of this ecosystem.

The Cork Oak forest of Larache represents a privileged area and this study explored the spatial distribution of beetles in this area. Three different habitats in 2021 and 2022 were studied by sampling adults using trapping techniques and direct surveys. This study led to collection of 4905 specimens and 229 species belonging to 38 families. Comparisons among the three habitats reveal a significant difference, show varied diets, reflecting the functional groups they fulfill within different habitats. The quantitative and qualitative differences observed have been discussed.
