Abstract:
An illustrated dichotomous key to larvae of all genera of Plecoptera in the West Palaearctic region (i.e., Europe, Asia Minor and the Palaearctic part of northern Africa) is presented. Brief comments on included species are added for each genus, plus diagnostic details of selected bioindicator species. Two appendices provide a key to larvae of the German species of genus Nemoura and taxonomic notes on selected species and operational taxonomic units in genus Leuctra, respectively.
