Material examined. Middle Atlas: 3♂♂, Grotte Bouslama, 19. V.2022, sweep net, coll. Group Belqat, UAE- FST; 2♂♂, Oued El Bared, 21. V.2022, sweep net, coll. Group Belqat, NMPC.

General distribution. This West Mediterranean species (Vaillant, 1978) has been found in North Africa in Algeria (Vaillant, 1978) and Morocco in the High Atlas ( Vaillant, 1955) and the Rif mountains ( Afzan & Belqat, 2016).

Habitat. Pericoma latina was found for the first time in the Middle Atlas near the source of a large river (Oued El Bared), which issues from rocks, with a strong current as it approaches a wide riverbed. The second habitat differs from the others; three males were collected near stagnant water inside the Bouslama cave.
