Abstract
The adults and larvae of a new species of the genus Oulimnus, 0. jaech i, sp. n., are described from the Moroccan Anti-Atlas. The external mo rphology of the adult is closer to the Ibero-Moroccan species O. fusci pes (Reiche), although the aedeagus is highly characteristic and morph ologically derived, very elongated and cylindrical, with a general dry opid-like appearance. This seems to be the extreme expression of a mor phological trend recognisable in related north African species, as wel l as in other groups within the Dryopoidea.
