Notes
Lakes differing in size and altitude, and ranging from oligotrophic to polytrophic were examined and found to contain Filinia longiseta, F. terminalis and F. hofmanni. The species occur singly or sympatrically and can be distinguished morphologically as well as on the basis of their differing temperature and oxygen requirements. The morphological differences involved are the length of the body appendages, the relationship between the lengths of the lateral and caudal setae and the mobility of the caudal seta.
