Abstract Although there are currently over 20 species of
Hydrobiosis known as adults from mainland New Zealand, only the larvae
of eight species have been previously described. This paper describes and
figures the larva of
Hydrobiosis gollanis Mosely, distinguishable from
that of other
Hydrobiosis species in the Umbripennis Group by its
characteristic pigmentation of the head capsule and pronotum, and its small
size.
H. gollanis prefers small stable streams and is widespread through
the North Island of New Zealand while mostly restricted to the west coast of
the South Island.
