Genus Rheotanytarsus Thienemann et Bause, 1913 View in CoL

A genus with ~100 species distributed in all zoogeographical regions except Antarctica. The Central American and Mexican species were reviewed by Kyerematen & Andersen (2002); the Rheotanytarsus pellucidus group was revised by Kyerematen et al. (2000). The larvae are rheobiontic, occurring in streams, large rivers, and the littoral of lakes where wave action simulates the action of flowing water ( Epler et al. 2013).
