Aquatic insects play a crucial role in freshwater ecosystems, and their diversity and distribution are important indicators of ecosystem health. In this study, we present old and new faunistic and distributional data on three orders of aquatic insects (Odonata, Hemiptera, and Coleoptera) in the Tazekka National Park, located in the Eastern Middle Atlas. An annotated list of 85 species is provided, of which 53 were identified from 1023 specimens collected seasonally between summer 2018 and summer 2019 at a total of 19 sampling sites. The remaining 32 species were identified from the literature but were not captured in this study. The 85 species are classified into 47 genera and 24 families, which are divided into 8 species of Odonata, 14 species of aquatic Hemiptera, and 63 species of aquatic Coleoptera. Eighteen of the captured species are new to the Tazekka National Park.

A chorological analysis shows that most species are essentially Mediterranean (63%), whilst those whose distribution is wider in Palearctic (25%) or extends into Nearctic, Australian, or Afrotropical regions (12%) are clearly less represented. This chorotype pattern is similar to that observed for OCH in other national parks in northern Morocco.

The Indomalayan-centered termite genus Parrhinotermes has 13 described species. A 14^th species, Parrhinotermes molariserratus new species Myles & Schiff is described from southern Vietnam. The new species is described from the worker and soldier castes. The morphology of the worker gut is also described and illustrated, the first such description for the genus. We also provide the DNA Barcode, a region of the Cytochrome Oxidase 1 mitochondrial gene, as, to date, only 3 of 13 species in Parrhinotermes have associated barcodes. This is the first record of Parrhinotermes from the SE Asian subregion of the Oriental region.

Eurhopalothrix floridana, a slow-moving, cryptic leaf-litter ant, is the only species in the Basiceros genus-group (formerly Tribe Basicerotini) found in the continental US. Before 2007, this species was reported solely from Florida. Researchers, however, questioned whether this species was native to Florida or if it was an exotic of undetermined geographic origin. Recent records of E. floridana from natural areas in Cuba (two sites), Dominican Republic (nine sites), and Isla de Mona, Puerto Rico (one site) suggest that E. floridana is probably native to the Greater Antilles. Here, we report new records of E. floridana from Florida and Georgia and consider evidence concerning whether this species is native or exotic to Florida. We compiled 121 earlier Florida site records of E. floridana, primarily in nature preserves, ranging from Key West (24.6°N) to Three Rivers State Park and Fort Clinch State Park (both 30.7°N). In 2012, we collected E. floridana at one site in Georgia: Crooked River State Park (30.8°N), the first record of this species in the state. In 2018–2022, we collected ants through leaf-litter extraction at 461 disturbed sites in Florida and southernmost Georgia (24.6°N–31.0°N), mostly under slash pine and oak trees growing by roadsides and parking lots. We found E. floridana in 69 of 229 leaf-litter extractions north of 28.5°N (including one record from Georgia: Saint Marys, 30.7°N), but in none of the 232 leaf-litter extractions south of 28.5°N. Co-occurrence analyses suggest that non-native ant species may be excluding E. floridana from disturbed sites in South Florida. The recent appearance of widespread E. floridana populations in north-central Florida is currently the strongest evidence that this species is not native to Florida. Genetic analyses are needed to evaluate more conclusively the status of E. floridana in Florida, Georgia, and the Greater Antilles.
