Diagnosis.
Larva. Following combination of characters: A) dorsal surface of labrum with submarginal arc of 4-6 long, simple setae; B) labial palp segment II with a thumb-like distomedial protuberance, segment III conical; C) left mandible with a comb-shaped structure at base of mola; D) fore femur rather broad, length 3.4 × maximum width, with ca. nine curved, spine-like setae and a partial second row near margin; E) claw with 12-15 denticles; F) paraproct distally not expanded, with 18-21 stout, marginal spines.
Description.
Larva (Figs 7 View Figure 7 , 8 View Figure 8 , 41c View Figure 41 , 46b View Figure 46 ). Body length 4.1-5.4 mm. Cerci ca. 2/3 of body length. Paracercus ca. 2/3 of cerci length. Antenna approx. twice as long as head length.
Colouration. Head dorsally light brown, thorax and abdomen dorsally brown with bright pattern as in Fig. 41c View Figure 41 . Fore protoptera light brown with darker and brighter striation. Head, thorax, and abdomen ventrally brown with bright pattern as in Fig. 46b View Figure 46 . Femur with a distomedial brown spot and a distodorsal brown streak, apically brown, tibia partially light brown, tarsus light brown, apically darker. Caudalii light brown with a brown dark band at ca. 1/3 of cerci length, distal area of cerci brown.
Antenna (Fig. 8f View Figure 8 ) with scape and pedicel subcylindrical, without distolateral process at scape.
Labrum (Fig. 7a View Figure 7 ). Rectangular, length 0.7 × maximum width. Distal margin with medial emargination and a small process. Dorsally with medium, fine, simple setae scattered over surface; submarginal arc of setae composed of one plus 4-6 long, simple setae, the first two setae after the submedian seta are close together. Ventrally with marginal row of setae composed of lateral and anterolateral long, feathered setae and medial long, bifid, pectinate setae; ventral surface with ca. five short, spine-like setae near lateral and anterolateral margin.
Right mandible (Fig. 7b, c View Figure 7 ). Incisor and kinetodontium fused. Incisor with four denticles; kinetodontium with three denticles, inner margin of innermost denticle with a row of thin setae. Prostheca robust, apically denticulate. Margin between prostheca and mola with a pronounced hump. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present and many thin setae distally at base of mola.
Left mandible (Fig. 7d-f View Figure 7 ). Incisor and kinetodontium fused. Incisor with three denticles; kinetodontium with three denticles. Prostheca robust, apically with small denticles and comb-shaped structure. Margin between prostheca and mola convex. Subtriangular process long and slender, above level of area between prostheca and mola. Denticles of mola apically constricted. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present. Comb-shaped structure at base of mola present.
Both mandibles with lateral margins almost straight. Basal half with fine, simple setae scattered over dorsal surface.
Hypopharynx and superlinguae (Fig. 7g View Figure 7 ). Lingua approx. as long as superlinguae. Lingua longer than broad; medial tuft of stout setae well developed, short; distal half not expanded. Superlinguae distally rounded; lateral margin rounded; fine, long, simple setae along distal margin.
Maxilla (Fig. 7h View Figure 7 ). Galea-lacinia ventrally with two simple, apical setae under canines. Inner dorsal row of setae with three denti-setae, distal denti-seta tooth-like, middle and proximal denti-setae slender, bifid and pectinate. Medially with one bipectinate, spine-like seta and three or four medium to long, simple setae. Maxillary palp 1.4 × as long as length of galea-lacinia; 2-segmented; palp segment II 1.6 × length of segment I; setae on maxillary palp fine, simple, scattered over surface of segments I and II; apex of last segment slightly pointed, without excavation at inner distolateral margin.
Labium (Fig. 7i View Figure 7 ). Glossa basally broad, narrowing toward apex; shorter than paraglossa; inner margin with ca. ten short, stout, spine-like setae plus distalmost one much longer, less robust, spine-like seta; apex with two long and one medium, robust, pectinate setae; outer margin with five long, spine-like setae; ventral surface with fine, simple, scattered setae. Paraglossa sub-rectangular, curved inward; apex rounded; with three rows of long, robust, distally pectinate setae in apical area and two or three medium, simple setae in anteromedial area; outer margin with some long, spine-like setae; dorsally with a row of four long, spine-like, simple setae near inner margin. Labial palp with segment I 0.8 × length of segments II and III combined. Segment I ventrally with short, fine, simple setae. Segment II with thumb-like distomedial protuberance; distomedial protuberance 0.7 × width of base of segment III; ventral surface with short, fine, simple setae; dorsally with a row of six or seven long, spine-like, simple setae near outer margin. Segment III conical; apex slightly truncate; length 1.3 × width; ventrally covered with short, spine-like, simple setae and short, fine, simple setae.
Hind protoptera (Fig. 8g View Figure 8 ) minute.
Foreleg (Fig. 8a, b View Figure 8 ). Ratio of foreleg segments 1.3:1.0:0.7:0.3. Femur. Length ca. 3 × maximum width. Dorsal margin with a row of ca. nine curved, spine-like setae, a partial row of spine-like setae near margin; length of setae 0.19 × maximum width of femur. Apex rounded, with a pair of curved, spine-like setae and some short, stout setae. Many stout, lanceolate setae scattered along ventral margin; femoral patch absent. Tibia. Dorsal margin with a row of short, spine-like setae and fine, simple setae, on apex one longer, spine-like seta. Ventral margin with a row of short to medium curved, spine-like setae, distally of patellotibial suture one longer, curved, spine-like seta, on apex some longer, partly bipectinate, spine-like setae and a tuft of fine, simple setae.

Biological aspects.
The specimens were collected at altitudes from 50 m to 1400 m, mainly in riverside pools, but also in root packs or grass bunches in the runs.
