Abstract
The morphological ontogeny of Limnozetes schatzi sp. nov. from Norway is described and illustrated. The adult of this species is the most similar to that of L. rugosus (Sellnick, 1925), but differs from it mainly by the body shape (it is stockier in dorsal aspect and less convex in lateral aspect than L. rugosus), longer prodorsal seta in and notogastral setae, lack of seta c3, which in some individuals of L. rugosus is present, and sculpture of notogaster. Moreover, in L. schatzi seta l' on femur III is absent, but in L. rugosus it is present. Seta d on femora I–III and seta l' on femora I and II have relatively long barbs, covered often with debris. The juveniles of L. schatzi have all gastronotal setae short, whereas the latter species has some setae longer (lm and lp in larva, lp in nymphs).
