Descriptions of four larvae of Rhyacophila (Pararhyacophila) from the Lozoya river, central Spain, and key to the species of the Iberian peninsula (Trichoptera: Rhyacophilidae)

Abstract

The full‐grown larvae of Rh. (Pararhyacophila) lusitanica, munda, pulchra and terpsichore are described and illustrated. According to the results, the authors consider that the use of larval morphological characters would require some corrections to Schmid's vulgaris group phylogenetic tree. The paper finishes with a key to the larvae of the species of Pararhyacophila so far known from the Iberian peninsula.
