Abstract
We provide a new record of the poorly studied theraphosid Harpactirella insidiosa (Denis, 1960) from Morocco, which was previously known only from its type locality in the surroundings of Ben Slimane. The new record, based on two adult females, extends the species distribution 210 km southwest from the type locality. These specimens were found at the Doukkala plain, 14 km southwest of Oualidia, and compared with topotypic specimens. In addition, we provide the first pictures of living specimens of the species and discuss its taxonomic status.

期刊介绍:
Graellsia was fist published in 1943 and the journal name honours Mariano de la Paz Graells. For 44 years the journal was devoted to Iberian entomology, but in 1987 it started publishing papers on zoology in general. More recently, Graellsia has restricted its scope and currently publishes original and unpublished papers on Zoological Diversity, including taxonomic, faunistic, biogeographic, chorological, evolutionary and conservation studies. Notes, news and book reviews are also published in the corresponding sections. Formerly Graellsia was published by CSIC with financial support from the Ministry. When this financial support for spanish scientific journals ceased, Sociedad de Amigos del Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales stepped in to take care of journal edition, with the goal of contributing to the advance of knowledge in Zoology.
