Limnesia (Tetralimnesia) pinguipalpis Cook 1967
Description
Limnesia (Tetralimnesia) pinguipalpis Cook, 1967
Records from the study area: Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu—Cook (1967); Prasad (1974); Uttaranchal—Smit & Pešić (2010).
Remarks: Limnesia pinguipalpis closely resemble L. bakeri, a species described from the Philippines (Walter 1930), but can easily be distinguished from it in the first coxae fused medially in the male (not fused in the male of L. baker i, see Walter 1930). Lundblad (1969) reported Limnesia bakeri from Ambernath, 50 miles from Bombay. However, Lundblad’s figures (first coaxe fused medially, as in L. pinguipalpis) clearly show that his specimens are not conspecific with L. bakeri.
Habitat: Ponds, lakes, sluggish streams, but also in fast flowing streams.
Distribution: India, Sri Lanka, Oman (Smit & Pešić 2010).
