Adults, larvae and pupae of Levitinia freidbergi n. sp. are described from a tiny winter stream at Merom Golan in the Golan Heigths. The relation of the new species to L. tacobi and to the primitive genera of Prosimuliini is discussed.
Résumé
Le genre Levitinia dont les stades imaginaux sont décrits ici pour la première fois montre, chez les adultes, des caractères évoquant le genre Prosimulium tandis qu’à l’état larvaire il est très proche de Gymnopais et Twinnia. Tous les stades de L. freidbergi n. sp. sont décrits. Une étude comparative est faite avec les genres primitifs de Prosimuliini et la seule autre espèce connue du genre : L. tacobi Chubareva et Petrova, 1981.
