Family Polyphemidae Baird, 1845

Polyphemus pediculus (Linne, 1761) s. lat. Records: Rylov, 1923: (northeast China); Uéno, 1937: 208 (a pool near Nen Jiang; swamps at Yüeh-pien-pao, Ussuri district); Chiang, 1964: 71/1 (the estuary of Kaidu He; the litoral zone of Bosten Hu); Chiang & Du, 1979: 268–270/191 (Jilin, Heilongjiang and Xinjiang). Common in the wetlands south of Xingkai Hu. Collected in June 2012 (Dumont, unpubl. data). A predominantly northern species. However, Xu et al. (2009) demonstrated that as well the "European" as the East Asian clades belong to yet unnamed species occurring in the Far East of Russia and Japan. Therefore, Chinese records may represent different taxa, and need to be allocated.
