Since its description, Onychogomphus boudoti Ferreira, 2014 has been known only from two localities in Morocco in a limited part of the Middle-Atlas Mountains. The status and the distribution of this rare and threatened dragonfly was established by an intensive search in June 2022. Twenty occupied localities were found in Khenifra Province, Morocco, in the south-western part of the Middle Atlas. These records not only confirm the known localities but also extend its known distribution from 100 ha to 15 500 ha. Based on these results, its habitat preference with climate and geologic associations and the main threats affecting its status are discussed.
