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).
