Description
This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Habbaz, Hamza, Maatouf, Noureddin, Lumaret, Jean-Pierre, Rohi, Latifa (2025): The beetles (Coleoptera) associated with the Maamora cork oak forest in the north-west of Morocco. Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics 11 (1): 39-84, DOI: 10.61186/jibs.11.1.39, URL: doi.org/10.61186/jibs.11.1.39 ABSTRACT. This study aims to explore and improve the understanding of the biodiversity of beetles in the Maamora forest, one of the largest cork oak forests in the world.
A survey was carried out over two consecutive years (2021 and 2022), using both active and passive traps. A total of 8247 individuals were collected, representing 256 species, belonging to 42 families of Coleoptera order. Most of the beetle species belonged to the families Tenebrionidae (27 species), Carabidae (27 species) and Curculionidae (24 species).

Out of the 256 species identified, 216 have been included in this document. We only selected species of high heritage value; 53 were saproxylic, including 6 rare species; 29 were endemic, and 26 species were identified as new records for the Moroccan entomofauna. These results provide the first checklist of beetle fauna in the Maamora forest, which will contribute new information on the distribution of beetles in the cork oak forests of Morocco.
