Telmatogetoninae View in CoL View at ENA : genera

Two genera, Telmatogeton and Thalassomya , in this subfamily are known from the region: larvae and pupae live in algal mats in the intertidal maritime zone. Although some Telmatogeton species have been found in torrential streams in Hawai’i ( Wirth 1947), freshwater species are not reported in any regional off-shore islands.
