Khun Kon Waterfall (Chiang Rai province).
Diagnosis.
The larva of Epeorus martinus can be distinguished by the following characteristics: pairs of moderately long acute submedian spines on the abdominal terga 1-9, large but narrow gill 1 forming a sucking disc and gill 7 being unfolded.
Habitat and biology.
Epeorus martinus larvae are found in mountain streams with a moderate current, at an elevation of 300-2800 m ( Nguyen and Bae 2004a).
Remarks.
Webb and McCafferty (2008) did not recognize the subgenera of Epeorus (e.g. Belovius , Iron ). However, we hold on the validity of subgenus Belovius and Iron within genus Epeorus (Boonsoong & Braasch, 2010). Therefore, we propose Iron martinus Braasch & Soldán, 1984 = Epeorus (Iron) martinus Braasch & Soldán, 1984
