Griseargiolestes metallicus
(Sjöstedt, 1917)
Larva not yet recognized.
*Genus
Griseargiolestes
Theischinger, 1998
It should be easy to identify the larva of
G. metallicus
once it is found as it is the only
Griseargiolestes
species
known from north of the Paluma-Eungella gap. The larva of
G. fontanus
is expected to be found most likely near springs of subtropical rainforest streams. Distributions may be needed to establish/ confirm the identification of
G. griseus
and
G. intermedius
with only
G. intermedius
present in the alpine region and
G. griseus
mostly north and east of it (
Theischinger & Endersby 2009
).
