Atractides View in CoL (s.str.) nodipalpis (Thor, 1899)

Remarks. Described by a variety of authors (e.g. Imamura 1951; Ullrich 1976; Wainstein 1980; Müller 2015) but still lacking a thorough diagnosis.

The larva of A. nodipalpis is distinctly larger than the larva of the other abundant species of the stream, A. pumilus . This is reflected e.g. in the length of the Dp or the length of leg segments.
