Description

Parametriocnemus lundbeckii (Johannsen, 1905)

Adults: A detailed description of adults are given by Saether (1969) and Sublette (1967).

Immatures: Pupa and larva described by Saether (1969), and Namayandeh and Culp (2016). Larva described by Namayandeh et al. (2012), and Simpson and Bode (1980).

Ecology and Habitat: Larvae inhabit clean piedmont and mountain streams (McShaffrey and Olive 1985, Simpson and Bode 1980).

NE: Canada (Alberta, Northwest Territories, Ontario, Québec, Saskatchewan); USA (Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas). In the Palearctic, records were made by E. Stur and T. Ekrem (2010) in Norway as part of Barcode of Life, Centre for Biodiversity Genomics (Ratnasingham and Hebert 2007). Also, recently this species was reported from China by Li et al. (2013).
