Distribution

Limnometra nigripennis nigripennis Mayr, 1865 (see Mayr 1865) (Fig. 9 View Figure 9 B) is endemic and widespread in the Philippines. Records are available from Biliran, Bohol, Camiguin, Guimaras, Leyte, Luzon, Mindanao, Mindoro (see Fig. 8 View Figure 8 for our additional records), Negros, Panay, Polillo, Sibuyan, Tablas, Ticao, as well as unpublished records from Masbate ( Zettel 2014 and references therein).

Habitat

Limnometra nigripennis Mayr 1865 is amongst the most widespread and abundant Gerromorpha of Philippine running waters ( Zettel 2004b, Zettel 2014). It exhibits higher tolerance to environmental disturbances in streams than other species. However, we recorded it predominantely from clean streams (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 C, D). Lentic sections of very small to medium-sized streams and pools associated with running water are its typical habitats ( Zettel 2014).
