Ampliación del rango de distribución de Harpactirella insidiosa (Denis, 1960) (Araneae: Mygalomorphae: Theraphosidae): una araña endémica de Marruecos poco conocida

We provide a new record of the poorly studied theraphosid Harpactirella insidiosa (Denis, 1960) from Morocco, which was previously known only from its type locality in the surroundings of Ben Slimane. The new record, based on two adult females, extends the species distribution 210 km southwest from the type locality. These specimens were found at the Doukkala plain, 14 km southwest of Oualidia, and compared with topotypic specimens. In addition, we provide the first pictures of living specimens of the species and discuss its taxonomic status.
