Apatania crymophila

.
The mesonotum shows distinct, large, diamond-shaped posterolateral spots (
Fig. 9A
). The surface of the protonum is covered by short thick secondary setae (
Fig. 9B
). The pairs of postocular primary setae on the head are shorter than the frontal setae; the posterior part of the head is light-colored (
Fig. 9B
). The length of the gula is greater than its width by a factor of more than 1.5 (
Fig. 9C
). The cases have a shape of slightly curly conic tubes (
Fig. 9D
) made of small mineral particles; ballast particles of larger size are often mounted laterally (
Fig. 9E
). The length of the cases does not exceed
1.5 cm
(
Figs 9D, 9E
). The longest cases are typical of the latest larval instars, when cases are attached to rocks on the bottom; the size of the cases of younger, mobile larval instars does not exceed
1 cm
. This species was the most numerous in the assemblages of
Trichoptera
on water moss.
