Trichopteran species list
TAXONOMIC REMARKS
From the species of the Glossosoma genus, larvae of G. spoliatum McLachlan, 1879
remains undescribed. It has been cited in north and northeast Spain (González et al.,
1992), where G. boltoni is also present. Our larvae look like G. boltoni, but we did not
collect mature pupae to ensure our larval identifications.
DISTRIBUTION AND ECOLOGY
European species. In the Iberian Peninsula it has been found in northeastern basins.
In the Mediterranean sampled basins this species is confined to pristine headwaters in
high-mountain rivers, but in some other European areas it has been collected in large
rivers (Wallace et al., 1990).

18- Allotrichia pallicornis (Eaton, 1873)
MATERIAL STUDIED: 36L
Besòs Basin: B35
Mijares: MI8
Júcar Basin: JU11
TAXONOMIC REMARKS
Although no pupae or adults have been collected, our larvae fit under this species
according to the redescription done by Vieira-Lanero (2000), with the presence of a dorsal
sclerite in the IX abdominal segment.
DISTRIBUTION AND ECOLOGY
A. pallicornis is widely distributed in central and southern Europe, North of Africa and
southwestern Asia (González et al., 1992). In the Iberia Peninsula is widely distributed,
although we only have collected it in northern and central basins.
