A new feeding group within larval Drusinae (Trichoptera: Limnephilidae): the alpinus-group sensu Schmid, 1956, including larval descriptions of Drusus franzi Schmid, 1956 and Drusus alpinus (Meyer-Dur, 1875).

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a description of the hitherto unknown larvae of Drusus franzi Schmid 1956, and Drusus alpinus (Meyer-Dür 1875). Information on the morphological and genetic identification of both species is given, and the most important diagnostic features are illustrated. Their systematic position within the genus Drusus is affirmed and zoogeographical and ecological notes are added.
