Macropterous, wing length: male 5.8 - 7.0 mm, female 6.4 - 7.2 mm. General colour brownish. Head brown with dark granulation on lateral parts of occiput; light brown spot between the three ocelli. Antennae dark brown covered with short thin hairs. Pronotum brown with two lateral dark patterns. Femora brownish, slightly darker in their distal part. Abdomen light brown. Body and legs covered with short pilosity. Male genitalia (Figs 2 - 7). Paraprocts: Inner lobe long and closely connected to median lobe; its base partly hidden beneath expansion of the hypoproct (Fig. 3). Median lobe with rounded base and finger-shaped expansion bending dorsally between base of the epiproct and cercus (Figs 2, 3); this expansion is covered with thin hairs and a distal row of 5 - 6 strong spines (Figs 2, 5, 6). Outer lobe narrow, strongly bent dorsally, and nearly parallel to outer side of median lobe (Figs 5, 6). Cercus sub-cylindrical, hardly narrowing toward its tip, about twice as long as wide and covered with long thin hairs. Epiproct elongate, with dorso-medial bulge and rounded apex in lateral view (Fig. 7), and regularly narrowing toward its tip, ending in rounded apex in dorsal view (Fig. 2). Transparent filament very short, triangularly shaped, bent downward, with acute tip (Figs 2, 7). Dorsal sclerite of epiproct very narrow, nearly rectilinear, extending medially between base and tip of epiproct (Fig. 7). Ventral sclerite hardly bulged, covered with several scattered spines (Fig. 7). Tergite IX sclerotized, slightly raised upward on outer edge, without median notch, covered with thin hairs, without spines. Other tergites membranous, without spines along outer edge. Sternite IX (Fig. 3): Hypoproct with rounded base and triangular expansion reaching base of epiproct. Ventral vesicle racket-shaped and membranous except its sclerotized rod. Female genitalia (Fig. 4). Sternite VII: Pregenital plate wider than half segment’s width, slightly projecting backward on sternite VIII. Sternite VIII with two small rounded lobes rising from posterior margin and separated by a notch wider than the width of one of them. A narrow median sclerotized strip separates the tergite into two parts (Fig. 4). Sternite IX with two dark triangular spots near anterior margin, laterally. Paraprocts more or less triangular with rounded tip. Cercus rounded, nearly as long as wide and covered with long thin hairs. Affinities. A. tiernodefigueroai sp. n. is closely related to A. berthelemyi from which it differs by the following features. ♂: median lobe of paraprocts nearly as long as wide, forming half a circle (Figs 5, 6); while in A. berthelemyi, the finger-shaped spiny dorsal projection is much longer and carries more spines (Figs 10, 11); epiproct narrowing more toward its tip in A. tiernodefigueroai sp. n. (Figs 2, 9); ventral spiny bulge less prominent in A. tiernodefigueroai sp. n. than in A. berthelemyi (Figs 7, 12); terminal filament ending in sharp point in A. tiernodefigueroai sp. n. (Fig. 7) but more bluntly in A. berthelemyi (Fig. 12). ♀ sternite VII: pre-genital plate projecting less backward and less convex in A. tiernodefigueroai sp. n. than in A. berthelemyi (Figs 4, 8).	en	Vinçon, Gilles, Alami, Majida El, Errochdi, Sanae (2014): Contribution To The Knowledge Of The Moroccan High And Middle Atlas Stoneflies (Plecoptera, Insecta).

The report of C. bifrons from the High-Atlas (Bouzidi 1989) is very doubtful since it is based on larval identifications not confirmed by adult specimens; therefore, we assigned them to C. nigra.	en	Vinçon, Gilles, Alami, Majida El, Errochdi, Sanae (2014): Contribution To The Knowledge Of The Moroccan High And Middle Atlas Stoneflies (Plecoptera, Insecta).

2137C047FF80A938013DFC5EFA7B7BDE.taxon	description	Description. Small sized species: body length: ♂ 4.2 – 6.0 mm, ♀ 5.5 – 7.8 mm. ♂ slightly brachypterous: anterior wing 2.6 – 3.6 mm. ♀ normally winged: anterior wing 6.3 – 7.3 mm. Body brown; head with dark brown granulations on the occiput, dark marking between lateral ocellus, compound eye and base of antenna. Antenna dark brown. Pronotum with dark markings. Legs brownish with longitudinal darker strips. Male (Figs 17 - 20). Tergite VII-VIII with rounded posterior membranous field and strong anterior sclerotized strip. Tergite IX similar but with narrower anterior sclerotized strip. Tergite X: wide anterior sclerotized strip getting narrower medially; heartshaped median membranous field (Fig. 17). Epiproct strongly raised upwards; with rounded base and long slightly curved expansion; apex rounded with triangular anterior tooth (Fig. 19). Paraproct shaft long, blade-shaped, getting thinner toward its sharp apex (Fig. 18, 19). Specillum hook-shaped, ending in sharp point (Fig. 18). Cercus with thick base and strong tooth on inner side (Figs 17, 19). Female (Fig. 23). Tergite I-VIII with wide median membranous area. Tergite IX-X fully sclerotized. Sternite VII: wide sclerotized plate with subtriangular posterior expansion that nearly reaches the middle part of sternite VIII. Sternite VIII with median membranous area, partly crossed by the projection of sternite VII; two anterior dark spots on inner edge of lateral plates. Sternite IX with median sub-triangular sclerite flanked by two lateral dark expansions. Tergite X: paraprocts nearly triangular; cerci very short and rounded. Affinities. Male closely related to C. petitpierreae by the shape of specillum, paraproct blades and epiproct; nevertheless, epiproct with short apical expansion in lateral view (Fig. 19) instead of long gently curved expansion in C. petitpierreae (Fig. 22). The paraproct shaft ends in rectilinear apex (Figs 18, 19) while it is slightly curved frontward at tip in C. petitpierreae (Figs 21, 22). Apex of specillum sharper in C. atlasica than in C. petitpierreae (Figs 18, 21). The female genitalia of C. atlasica are conspicuously different from those of C. petitpierreae, especially the shape of the sclerotized plate on sternite VII (Figs 23, 24).	en	Vinçon, Gilles, Alami, Majida El, Errochdi, Sanae (2014): Contribution To The Knowledge Of The Moroccan High And Middle Atlas Stoneflies (Plecoptera, Insecta).
