GENUS LIMNOHYDROBIUS REITTER, 1909 View in CoL

( FIG. 5A–E View Figure 5 )

Material examined: Limnohydrobius convexus (Brullé, 1835) : 2 spec. ( BMNH): France, Corsica, R . Angus lgt.; 2 spec. ( BMNH): Spain, Menorca, G. Foster lgt. ( BMNH) .

Karyotype: 2 n = 16 + Xy(♂).Chromosomes1,3–5,8and X showing weak centromeric C-bands. Chromosomes 1–6 metacentric, 7, 8 and X submetacentric with X large, about as long as chromosome 5.

Note: Limnohydrobius was recently separated from Hydrobius based on DNA-based phylogenetic data ( Short et al., 2017); previously Limnohydrobius species were classified under the latter genus (e.g. Hansen, 1999).
