Abstract
In this paper we describe the main morphological characteristics that distinguish the full-grown larva of Athripsodes taounate taounate, an Iberic-Maghrebian endemic. The conspecificity of the larva and adult was confirmed by DNA analysis. Morphological features that discriminate it from the described Iberian-Maghrebian species of Athripsodes are given.
