Material examined. Rif: 1♂, Oued Belwazen, 28.IV.2022, sweep net, coll. Saidoun, FST- UAE .

General distribution. This genus has been found throughout Europe ( Ježek et al., 2008; Ježek et al., 2017; Ježek et al., 2018a), In North Africa, the genus was previously known only from Algeria ( Wagner, 1987) based on the species C. kabylicus Wagner, 1987 ( Afzan & Belqat, 2016).

Habitat. The specimens were captured ( Figs 19, 20) in a forested mountain environment with streams having strong current, submerged vegetation (e.g., algae and mosses), coarse substrate, and abundant riparian vegetation such as Rubus ulmifolius ( Figs 7, 8).

Comment. This species remains unnamed because of an issue during the mounting procedure. Consequently, the shape of the hypandrium, which is a crucial morphological characteristic for distinguishing the species, was not visible.
