Superfamily LEPTOCEROIDEA Leach, 1815<br />

Family LEPTOCERIDAE Leach, 1815<br />

Subfamily Leptocerinae Leach, 1815<br />

TRIBU Athripsodini Morse & Wallace, 1976<br />

Athripsodes Billberg, 1820<br />

Several species with distribution around Mediterranean area remain undescribed (e.g. A.<br />

taounate). Therefore, although larvae from this genus have been found in Almanzora, Aguas,<br />

Adra and Guadalfeo basins, only pupae or adults collected are presented here.<br />

81- Athripsodes albifrons (Linnaeus, 1758)<br />

MATERIAL STUDIED: 1P♀ (VII)<br />

Guadalfeo Basin: GU1<br />

DISTRIBUTION AND ECOLOGY<br />

European species. In the Iberian Peninsula it is widely distributed.<br />

Larvae have been found in streams at lower altitudes (Vieira-Lanero, 2000) although our<br />

specimen was found at 1860 m of altitude in the Guadalfeo basin.<br />

Ceraclea Stephens, 1829<br />

82- Ceraclea sobradieli (Navás, 1917)<br />

MATERIAL STUDIED: 2L<br />

Júcar Basin: JU10<br />

DISTRIBUTION AND ECOLOGY<br />

Species only present in the Pyrenees and Iberian Peninsula where it is widely distributed.<br />

In our sampled basins this species was present in a calcareous and sedimentary lowland<br />

river, what agrees with other studies (Terra & Molles, 1987). In Júcar basins, larvae are<br />

present in reaches with a moderate pollution.<br />
