title: The larva and life cycle ofAnnitella apfelbeckiKlapálek, 1899, including a redescription ofMelampophylax neposMcLachlan, 1880 (Trichoptera: Limnephilidae).
abstract: The hitherto unknown larva ofAnnitella apfelbecki(Klapálek, 1899) is described and discussed in the context of contemporary Limnephilidae keys. In addition, its life cycle is discussed, and zoogeographical and ecological notes are included. Finally, we provide some additional information on the morphologically very similar larva ofMelampophylax nepos(McLachlan, 1880).
