DISTRIBUTION AND ECOLOGY<br />

European species. In the Iberian Peninsula it is present in northern basins.<br />

Trichopteran species list<br />

This species has been found in permanent headwater reaches (Sommerhäuser et al.,<br />

1997) without presenting a summer diapauses (Malicky, 1987). P. cingulatus has been<br />

found coexisting with P. latipennis but reaching higher altitudes (Vieira-Lanero, 2000). In<br />

sampled area it is an intolerant species, especially to conductivity, suspended solids and<br />

phosphates (Bonada et al., <strong>Chapter</strong> 8).<br />

71- Potamophylax latipennis (Curtis, 1834)<br />

MATERIAL STUDIED: 257L, 8P♂ 12P♀ (VIII), 10♂3♀ (II, VII, VIII, X)<br />

Ter Basin: T7, T9, T10, T12, TM1, TM3, TM4, TM5<br />

Tordera Basin: ToM7, ToM8<br />

Besòs Basin: B8a, B29, B35, B36<br />

Llobregat Basin: L54, L56, L60a<br />

Adra Basin: AD5<br />

Guadalfeo Basin: GU1, GU11, GU15<br />

DISTRIBUTION AND ECOLOGY<br />

This species is distributed around Europe, Siberia and Anatolia. In the Iberian Peninsula<br />

it is distributed in northern basins, although it has been recorded in some southern areas<br />

(see González et al., 1992).<br />

Similarly to P. cingulatus, this species is present in mountain headwater reaches. P.<br />

latipennis is more intolerant to environmental quality variables than the former species,<br />

especially to ammonium concentration.<br />

72- Halesus digitatus (Schrank, 1781)<br />

MATERIAL STUDIED: 51L, 2♂ (VII, X)<br />

Ter Basin: T8, T10, T12<br />

Besòs Basin: B35<br />

Llobregat Basin: L44, L54, L68<br />

Noguera Ribagorçana Basin: OUT200m<br />

DISTRIBUTION AND ECOLOGY<br />

This species is distributed around Europe reaching Iran. In the Iberian Peninsula only<br />

has been recorded in northeastern basins, as has been in our case.<br />

In other European areas with karstic formations, H. digitatus has been found a dominant<br />

species in both temporary (Kiss, 1984) and permanent streams (Sommerhäuser et al.,<br />

1997). In our sampled streams, specimens were found in calcareous/siliceous headwaters<br />

located in a wide altitudinal range.<br />

73- Halesus radiatus (Curtis, 1834)<br />

MATERIAL STUDIED: 103L<br />

Ter Basin: T7, TM1, TM4, TM5<br />
