The tiger beetle fauna of the Maghreb region is one of the richest in the Palaearctic, including 22 species and 5 subspecies and 19% of all Palaearctic species of Cicindelinae. Assembled to their chorotypes, the Maghreb tiger beetles fall into eight different groups that include Maghreb endemics (26% of fauna), Mediterranean (7%), West Mediterranean (40%), North African (4%), Mediterranean-Westturanian (4%), West Palaearctic (4%), Afrotropico-Indo-Mediterranean (4%), and Saharian (11%) species. The Mediterranean Sclerophyl and Atlas Steppe are the Maghreb biogeographical provinces with the highest species richness, while the Sahara Desert has the lowest Cicindelinae diversity. Twenty-five cicindelid species and subspecies (93% of Maghreb fauna) are restricted to only one or two habitat types in lowland areas. Only Calomeralittoralislittoralis and Lophyraflexuosaflexuosa are recognized as eurytopic species and occur in three types of habitat. The highest tiger beetle diversity characterizes salt marshes and river banks (in both cases 11 species and subspecies or 41% of Maghreb fauna). Approximately 85% of all Maghreb tiger beetle species and subspecies are found in habitats potentially endangered by human activity.
马格里布地区的虎甲动物群是古北区最丰富的动物群之一，包括22个物种和5个亚种，占 Cicindelinae 亚科所有古北物种的19%。根据其分布型进行分类，马格里布虎甲分为八个不同的类群，包括马格里布特有种（占动物群的26%）、地中海种（7%）、西地中海种（40%）、北非种（4%）、地中海 - 西图兰种（4%）、西古北种（4%）、热带非洲 - 印度 - 地中海种（4%）和撒哈拉种（11%）。地中海硬叶林和阿特拉斯草原是马格里布生物地理省份中物种丰富度最高的地区，而撒哈拉沙漠的 Cicindelinae 亚科多样性最低。25种虎甲物种和亚种（占马格里布动物群的93%）仅局限于低地地区的一两种栖息地类型。只有滨海宽边虎甲和弯翅虎甲被认为是广适性物种，出现在三种栖息地类型中。虎甲多样性最高的是盐沼和河岸（两种情况下均有11个物种和亚种，占马格里布动物群的41%）。马格里布地区所有虎甲物种和亚种中约85%存在于可能受到人类活动威胁的栖息地中。
