B/C 1.09–1.22. Remarks. Adult males of Labrundinia pilosella are very similar to those of L. semicurvata , but can be distinguished by the longer wing, the pale brown hypopygium and by having about 14 posterior setae on the abdominal tergite IX. The pupae of Labrundinia pilosella appear most similar to those of L. parafittkaui and differences are discussed under this species. The larvae of L. pilosella can be separated from those of the related species L. separata and L. sofiae by the ratio between the inner and the outer tooth length on bifid claw (B/C) of the posterior parapod. This ratio is 1.09–1.22 in L. pilosella while it is 0.89–0.97 in L. separata and L. sofiae . Roback (1971) placed L. pilosella as a senior synonym of L. floridana Beck and Beck due to the absence of distinguishable features in the adult males. Later, the comparison of the reared material of L. pilosella with that of L. floridana revealed consistent differences between the immatures. The larva described for L. floridana has a cephalic posterior margin noticeably darker than rest of head capsule, a character not observed in the material previously attributed to L. pilosella. We have examined material assigned to both species. Although there are slight differences that might indicate different species, we do not have enough data to warrant separation and treat L. floridana as a junior synonym of L. pilosella . Labrundinia pilosella is the most widespread Labrundinia species in North America. The larvae were collected in lakes, creeks, pools, rivers and streams. : Published as part of Silva, Fabio Laurindo Da, Fonseca-Gessner, Alaide Aparecida & Ekrem, Torbjørn, 2014, A taxonomic revision of genus Labrundinia Fittkau, 1962 (Diptera: Chironomidae: Tanypodinae), pp. 1-185 in Zootaxa 3769 (1) on pages 127-132, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3769.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/250728 : {"references": ["Loew, H.

B/C 1.09–1.22. Remarks. Adult males of Labrundinia pilosella are very similar to those of L. semicurvata , but can be distinguished by the longer wing, the pale brown hypopygium and by having about 14 posterior setae on the abdominal tergite IX. The pupae of Labrundinia pilosella appear most similar to those of L. parafittkaui and differences are discussed under this species. The larvae of L. pilosella can be separated from those of the related species L. separata and L. sofiae by the ratio between the inner and the outer tooth length on bifid claw (B/C) of the posterior parapod. This ratio is 1.09–1.22 in L. pilosella while it is 0.89–0.97 in L. separata and L. sofiae . Roback (1971) placed L. pilosella as a senior synonym of L. floridana Beck and Beck due to the absence of distinguishable features in the adult males. Later, the comparison of the reared material of L. pilosella with that of L. floridana revealed consistent differences between the immatures. The larva described for L. floridana has a cephalic posterior margin noticeably darker than rest of head capsule, a character not observed in the material previously attributed to L. pilosella. We have examined material assigned to both species. Although there are slight differences that might indicate different species, we do not have enough data to warrant separation and treat L. floridana as a junior synonym of L. pilosella . Labrundinia pilosella is the most widespread Labrundinia species in North America. The larvae were collected in lakes, creeks, pools, rivers and streams. : Published as part of Silva, Fabio Laurindo Da, Fonseca-Gessner, Alaide Aparecida & Ekrem, Torbjørn, 2014, A taxonomic revision of genus Labrundinia Fittkau, 1962 (Diptera: Chironomidae: Tanypodinae), pp. 1-185 in Zootaxa 3769 (1) on pages 127-132, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3769.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/250728 : {"references": ["Loew, H.
