[EN] Five species of the genus Siagona Latreille 1804 (Carabidae: Siagoninae) are known from Morocco. Siagona taggadertensis n. sp., a remarkable species of Carabidae from a Moroccan cave is described. This insect is spectacular by its large size (one of the largest species of the genus), its external morphology, which isolates it from all the north african representant of the genus, and for the conditions of its discovery: its only known from the remains of six specimens, all of them found in the cave of Taggadert, western Atlas. Hypotheses concerning the ecology of this species are discussed.
[FR] Le genre Siagona Latreille 1804 (Carabidae: Siagoninae), compte 5 espèces au Maroc. Siagona taggadertensis n. sp., remarquable espèce collectée dans une grotte marocaine est décrite. Cet insecte est spectaculaire tant par sa grande taille, sa morphologie externe qui l’isole au premier coup d’oeil des représentants nord africains du genre Siagona, que par les conditions de sa découverte : aucun des spécimens n’ont été collectés en dehors de la grotte de Taggadert, Atlas occidental. Des hypothèses concernant l’écologie de cette espèce sont fournies.
