TL;DRAbstract

Larval habitat preference of Potamophylax rotundipennis (Insecta: Trichoptera) was examined under natural conditions. The result of this study indicated a high preference for stone to sand and detritus, and preference for the low depth of water. This preference resulted that P. rotundipennis larvae showed a homogenous distribution along the stream-reach, but not across it.
