Diagnosis.
The larvae of
Rhoenanthus magnificus
(Fig.
12
) can be distinguished from those of other
Rhoenanthus (Potamanthindus)
species based on the following characteristics: i) large body size (18-21 mm), ii) mandibular tusks arched inward about 33-34° (angle measurement as shown in Fig.
10D
), iii) length of the mandibular tusks ca 1.4
x
length of head, and iv) length of the foretibiae ca 1.5
x
length of the forefemora and about 2.9
x
length of the foretarsi (Fig.
11B
) (
Nguyen and Bae 2004
).
Distribution.
Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Loei, and Nan provinces.
Remark.
The larva of
R. magnificus
was originally described by
Nguyen and Bae (2004)
from material collected in northern and central Vietnam. The species is known from southern China and Vietnam. In the present study, we found this species in streams of several provinces (Fig.
14
).
