Taxonomy, Distribution and Life Cycle of the Maghrebian Endemic <i>Rhithrogena sartorii</i> (Ephemeroptera: Heptageniidae) in Algeria

Despite being recorded in Algeria since the nineteenth century, the genus <i>Rhithrogena</i> has never been the object of a taxonomical study and no identified species is known from this country. Investigations of the relict mountain streams of El Kala, north-eastern Algeria, have led to...
