Atractides nodipalpis (Thor, 1899)

Records ( Table 2): Benthos samples at four spring sites in Gutland and in Ösling, 7 individuals, Gerecke et al. (2005). No larvae found in the traps.

Descriptions of larvae: Imamura (1951), Ullrich (1976), Wainstein (1980).

Diagnostic characters of larvae: Short leg length.

Remarks: A re­description of A. nodipalpis and other Atractides larvae is desirable after the revision of the genus by Gerecke (2003).
