Arrenurus cylindratus
Piersig, 1896
Records (
Table 2
): Benthos samples at one spring site in Ösling, 3 individuals (
Gerecke
et al.
2005
). No larvae found in traps.
Remarks: There is no description of larval
Arrenurus cylindratus
and therefore this species could not be separated from the other species of the genus present here,
A. fontinalis
K.Viets, 1920
and
A. inexploratus
K.Viets, 1930
. In studies carried out in
Luxembourg
and other areas (
Viets 1923
;
Gerecke
et al.
2005
), the species demonstrated a preference for limnocrenes.
