47- Tinodes maclachlani Kimmins, 1966
MATERIAL STUDIED: 2L
Llobregat Basin: L44, L45
DISTRIBUTION AND ECOLOGY
Western European species. In the Iberia Peninsula it has been found in northeast basins.
This hygropetric species (Edington & Alderson, 1973) have been collected in calcareous
headwater reaches with a good biological and riparian quality.
48- Tinodes maculicornis (Pictet, 1834)
MATERIAL STUDIED: 7L
Besòs Basin: B36
Almanzora Basin: AL17
DISTRIBUTION AND ECOLOGY
Western European species. In the Iberia Peninsula it has been found in northern and
southern basins.
In the Pyrenees this species has been collected in rivers with intermediate altitude
(Décamps, 1967). In the sampled Mediterranean area, larvae were collected in headwater
and midstream reaches with a good biological and riparian quality.
49- Tinodes waeneri (Linnaeus, 1758)
MATERIAL STUDIED: 34L, 1♂ (IV)
Besòs Basin: B28, B32, B35
Llobregat Basin: L60c, L102
Segura Basin: SE7
DISTRIBUTION AND ECOLOGY
European and North African species. In the Iberian Peninsula it is widely distributed.
However, in sampled basins have been collected both in northern and southern areas.
This species prefers midstream reaches at medium to low altitudes (Vieira-Lanero, 2000).
In the sampled Mediterranean area, T. waeneri has been found in stream reaches with
very good to fair ecological quality.
Family POLYCENTROPODIDAE Ulmer, 1903
Subfamily Polycentropodinae Ulmer, 1903
Plectrocnemia Stephens, 1836
Specimens of Plectrocnemia were recorded in Besòs, Llobregat, Turia, Júcar, Segura, Adra and
Guadalfeo basins. However, because the difficulty to differentiate larvae specially when they are
not full growth (see Vieira-Lanero, 2000), we only present here records from pupae or adults.
