Remarks

This is the first record of Platypalpus albocapillatus from Morocco as well as the whole of North Africa. The Moroccan specimens correspond perfectly with the morphological description in Chvála (1973). The genitalia agree exactly in all details (shape of cerci and of the left and right lamellae) with that illustrated by Chvála (1973, 1975).
