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...

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 the discovery of a <i>Rhithrogena</i> population. Morphological and molecular analyses identified the species as the Maghrebian endemic <i>Rhithrogena sartorii</i>, so far known only from neighboring Tunisia. We report on the species’ distribution, status, and life cycle and discuss its potential role as a bioindicator in environmental monitoring. |
