(Walker)
Figs 47 A–E
Diagnosis.
Frontal apotome separated from S3 setae by straight suture (
Fig. 47A
); labrum and premandible as in
Fig. 47B
; SI seta plumose; pectin epipharyngis with three toothed platelets; antenna (
Fig. 47C
) 5-segmented, last three strongly reduced, LO large enveloping segment 3, blade twice as long as flagellum, AR 1.3; mandible (
Fig. 47D
) with 3 inner teeth, their combined length is greater than the distance from basal tooth to seta subdentalis, inner margin with a large appressed spine near the base; mentum (
Fig. 47E
) with 4 median teeth of which the middle pair is usually shorter, 6 lateral teeth, 1
st
lateral is smaller than the 2

Tribelos jucundum
(Walker)
, larva (A–E). A—frontoclypeus and S3-seta; B—labrum and premandible; C—antenna; D—mandible; E—mentum.
Notes.
This species is easily distinguished from other
Tribelos
by the long antennal blade. The larva generally agrees with the description by
Grodhaus (1987)
.
Ecology and habitat.
The larvae of this species are found in shallow (
0.5–4.5m
) parts of lakes and streams on sandy substrates with muck and under weed beds (

).
