Abstract
This note represents the first record of the species Acamptocladius reissi Cranston & Saether, 1982 to Spain and the Pyrenees —Zone 2 in the Limnofauna Europaea (Fittkau & Reiss, 1978)—. The genus had not been found before in the area (Soriano et al., 1997). Until now three species of the genus Acamptocladius have been described, two in Europe and one in Canada, always from relatively cold sites. Both European species —A. reissi and A. submontanus (Edwards, 1932)— are found in mountain peat pools and polyhumic lake shores where mosses are important. A. reissi has only been found to our knowledge, at the site of its first description, in Oberbayern, Murnauer Moos (West Germany) (Cranston & Saether, 1982), in a couple of sites in Norway (Schnell & Aagaard, 1996) and in Finland (Lindegaard, 1997).
