Limnias melicertanymphae: Koste, 1978 Types:None designated.
Typelocality: Lake Nurmijärvi( Finland).
Diagnosis.Tube dark gray, set with grains of sand. Ventral antennae short. Dorsal gap in corona unknown. Dorsal nodules present (n = 14 in3 rows: 6,6,2).
Measurements:Total tube length 510–650 µm.
Comments.The etymon of this genus is apparently a reference to the plant substratum, Nuphar-Blätte (sic), on which Stenroos (1898)found specimens. Amictic, male, and diapausing embryos undescribed. This species was described from a single occurrence on the leaves of Nupharsp. in Lake Nurmijärvi ( Finland). Koste (1978)states that this species may be a form of L. melicerta.
