Previous Rif records

Mt Gurugu, near Melilla; Tétouan; Benitez, near Ceuta ( Vandel 1958 a, 1958c).

Distribution

Southern Spain and Morocco.

Remarks

Porcellio humberti was described by Paulian de Félice (1939) on specimens from Jebel Ayachi, in the High Atlas Range. Vandel (1958c) redescribed and partially illustrated the species, and added several localities in Morocco and southern Spain. A full set of figures of this species that integrate Vandel’ s redescription is here provided on specimens from St. 19.
