Note:
all previous records of
Limnellia stenhammari in Germany may be in fact misidentified Limnellia
surturi (see Stuke (2010)). Re-examination of all available records and
material of L. stenhammari from Germany is therefore urgently needed.
Identification
Distribution
Recorded
from Canada, USA, Greenland. In the palearctic region recorded from
northern Africa, Spain, France, UK, Netherlands, Austria, Czech
Republic, Poland, Hungary, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Russia and
Japan. The records from Germany have been questioned recently (Stuke
2010); these may all be misidentified Limnellia surturi. This may also
be the case for some of the other palearctic records (especially the
southern ones) of L. stenhammari. It may be the case that L.
stenhammari is a circumpolar species that only occurs in northern
latitudes of the holarctic region.
