given for the genus.
Remarks: The state of the single specimen was too poor for a description of the species. However, since the crenobiontic
Mideopsis willmanni
is the only species of the genus in the Luxembourgian springs (
Gerecke
et al.
2005
), the assignment of the specimen to
M. willmanni
seems to be certain.
