Abstract

The larva and pupa of Cardiocladius albiplumus Saether are described and compared with other members of Cardiocladius and the genus Eukiefferiella. The male adult is typically Cardiocladius, whereas the immature stages have many characteristics of Eukiefferiella. The traits of this species indicate a need to redefine the generic limits for Cardiocladius and Eukiefferiella.

Résumé

Les auteurs décrivent la larve et la pupe de Cardiocladius albiplumus Saether et les comparent aux autres espèces des genres Cardiocladius et Eukiefferiella. L'adulte mâle est un Cardiocladius typique, alors que les stades de développement montrent plusieurs traits caractéristiques des Eukiefferiella. Les caractères distinctifs de cette espèce indiquent donc le besoin de redéfinir les limites génériques des genres Cardiocladius et Eukiefferiella.
