Abstract

A second contribution to the knowledge of the Moroccan spider fauna, reporting new species and new records from caves and a range of terrestrial ecosystems. For Theraphosidae, records of the Moroccan endemic Ischnocolus elongatus (Simon, 1873) from Ourika and Oued Rommane, and of Ischnocolus valentinus (Dufour, 1820) from Oukaïmeden at 2,047 m, are presented with photographs of the living spiders, their burrows and their genitalia.
