Panisellus thienemanni (K.Viets, 1920)

Records (Table 2): Benthos samples at site Lux Qu25 (E5), 1 May 2002, one female; 17 April 2003, one male, one deutonymph. No larvae found in traps. First record for Luxembourg.

Description of larvae (see Fig. 1): Boehle (1996).

Diagnostic characters of larvae: Differing from the other Hydryphantidae treated here with respect to their remarkably shorter legs.

Remarks: Boehle (1996) and Wohltmann (pers. comm.) found the larvae of P. thienemanni parasitic exclusively on collembolans. These potential hosts have not been captured in the emergence traps in the present study. Throughout its distribution area, P. thienemanni is rarely found, the presence of adults being possibly restricted to springtime.
