Abstract
Helophorus atlantis sp. n. is described from the Moyen Atlas region of Morocco (Ifrane and Fes). Morphologically it appears indistinguishable from the more lightly built species of the H. minutus group (H. minutus Fabricius, 1775 and H. calpensis Angus, 1988), and its karyotype is most similar to that of H. calpensis, but with important differences, especially in the sex chromosomes. An additional karyotype of H. calpensis, from the Coto Doñana, Provincia de Huelva, Spain provides a major extension to the known distribution of this species, hitherto known only from its type locality (Tarifa, Provincia de Cádiz) and also confirms the chromosomal distinction between H. calpensis and H. atlantis.
