indet. (cf.
Tiphys
Koch, 1836
sp.?)
Records (
Table 2
): No specimen of
Tiphys
spp. has been reported from benthos samples in Luxembourgian spring sites by
Gerecke
et al.
(2005)
.
E7 1
larva, parasitic on chironomids, was attributed to the genus
Tiphys
.
Remarks: Since the investigated individual was not in good condition, a definitive contribution to a genus in the family
Pionidae
was impossible. The chetotaxy and some characters suggest that the specimen belongs to a genus known mainly from standing water.
