Abstract: Diurnal activity of Paussus (Klugipaussus) otini Antoine, 1943 in High Atlas,
Morocco was observed and the ant genus Camponotus Mayr, 1861 is reported as its
probable host. Data on the mass occurrence of Paussus (Katapaussus) thomsoni
Reiche in J. Thomson, 1860 in the evening before a storm at Douz, Tunisia, are
presented. New records of Paussus otini from Morocco and of Paussus thomsoni
from Morocco and Tunisia are given. Notes on the distribution and taxonomy of
both paussine species are supplemented. A brief discussion on the diurnal
activity of the adults of Paussus otini and of Paussinae in general is given,
including original data on the diurnal activity of individuals of the subgenus
Cochliopaussus Kolbe, 1927 in Madagascar (Toamasina province).
