Recent field surveys conducted on the Middle Atlas of Morocco have led to the discovery of two new species belonging to two new genera (Ifrania n. gen. and Fessia n. gen.) described here. Photos of the holotypes are presented in addition to the penis morphology of the new genera, the map of the sampling area with the type localities and the habitat description. Ongoing investigations will possibly reveal more new genera and species from the country.
