Tvetenia discoloripes group. A body with this pattern of long hairs is always Tvetenia, a typical inhabitant of brooks. The posterior edge of the head is black, so T. discoloripes group (in Europe: T. discoloripes & T.veralli) |

Hi, I made a preparate of this one last year and this week I made some photos of it with an Olympus research microscope. Is it possible to ID it further?

sorry, they remain unidentifyable to species level. Tvetenia discoloripes group (with 2 european species) remain unseparable in the larval stage. This is confirmed by a Dutch expert on this matter (H. Moller, pers. comm. 17dec2010). |
