REMARKS: In North African region, the genus Procloeon is represented by three species: P. concinnum Eaton, 1885, P. pennulatum (Eaton, 1870), P. stagnicola Soldán & Thomas, 1983. Boumaiza & Thomas (1995) mentioned the presence of this genus in Tunisia but without specific attribution.

Several larvae belonging to the genus Procloeon were included in the material collected in many streams of northern watersheds of Tunisia. Based on the morphological characters such as the presence of lateral spines on abdominal segments VI to IX, the shape of the gills and the absence of hindwings, specimens were assigned to Procloeon stagnicola ( Soldán & Thomas, 1983).

It constitutes the first record of this species from Tunisian running waters, and also the first mention since its original description from Algeria.
