Diamesinae View in CoL View at ENA ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1–8 )
Head capsules of the subfamily is yellowish brown to dark brown or black with black and wide occipital margin. Surface of dorsal head mostly smooth, rarely covered with numerous short setae ( Protanypus ), or with tubercles ( Boreoheptagyia ). Third antennal segment annulated with exception of Protanypus . Premandible with 1–16 teeth. Mandible with apical tooth and 4–5 inner teeth. Mentum variable in shape with 4 ( Protanypus ) to 23 teeth, rarely without teeth ( Potthastia longimanus group). Ventromental plates rudimentary to very large ( Pseudodiamesa ) ( Brooks et al. 2007; Ilyashuk at al. 2010).
Larvae are rheophilic to rheobiontic, but also occur in the littoral zone as low temperature and high oxygen content combined with wave action create conditions resembling flowing waters.
