“…As previously explained (Lecigne & Moutaouakil 2021), protection of the Imi Ougoug cave system is necessary to conserve the ecosystems of these caves and its species, including Agraecina agadirensis Lecigne, Lips, Moutaouakil & Oger, 2020, an eyeless species, and Dysdera agadirensis spec. nov .…”

“…Considering their inability to modify their distribution in response to eventual habitat disturbances, such species may be considered threatened, especially when taking into account alterations arising from climate change (Mammola and Isaia 2017). In addition, this Cave has become the main destination for local associations and tourist groups (Lecigne and Moutaouakil 2021). Moreover and given the cave morphology, the different habitats cannot be avoided while progressing inside.…”

Two new sympatric isopod species of the genus Castellanethes (Olibrinidae) are described from caves located in the Western High Atlas of Morocco. Both species present troglomorphic traits, such as the absence of body pigmentation and eyes and are, therefore, considered cave-dwelling species (troglobitic). Castellenethes ougougensissp. nov. was found in five caves, while C. ighousisp. nov. is an amphibious species found in only two caves, which also harbour populations of C. ougougensissp. nov. Additionally, notes on their habitats are provided, as well as a discussion on their conservation status.

The checklist of Spiders (Araneae) of Morocco is presented for the first time, based on about two centuries of arid research (between 1840 and 2024), including an extensisve bibliographic study. This updated list includes a total of 549 species belonging to 225 genera and 46 families. A bibliographic review, as complete as possible, was compiled which to date includes 172 references, providing a database available for the first time and accessible for any future research on Moroccan spiders. This work is also the first step towards a catalog and an Atlas of this group of arachnids, which is currently being compiled and is the first of its kind in Morocco and even North Africa.
