Abstract: Neozavrelia Goetghebuer, 1941 Material examined. 11 pupal exuvia, Zhdenivka River (S 1), 5 May 2018; 17 pupal exuvia, Latoricja River (S 4), 5 May 2018; 1 pupal exuvium, Rika River (S 6), 7 May 2018; 18 pupal exuvia Rika River (S 8), 7 May 2018; 19 pupal exuvium, Rypenka River (S 7), 7 May 2018; 1 pupal exuvium, channel at Gluhana peat bog (S 5), 7 May 2018. Distribution. Species-rich genus (38 valid species, de Jong 2016) with a worldwide distribution except for Africa and Neotropics (Epler et al. 2013). Five species have been recorded in Europe, three of which are reliably confirmed in the Carpathians: N. improvisa Fittkau, 1954, N. luteola Goetghebuer, 1941 (Giłka 2007), and N. cuneipennis (Edwards, 1929) (Tatole 2023). Habitat. Larvae of Neozavrelia inhabit streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds in peat bogs; they are also known from hygropetric sites, and one species lives in a hot spring (Epler et al. 2013). Remarks. Except for N. cuneipennis (= N. longappendiculata Albu, 1980), the morphological characteristics of the pupae do not yet allow for distinguishing the European species (Langton and Visser 2003). The morphotype Neozavrelia Pe 1 Langton, 1991 includes four species: N. bernensis Reiss, 1968, N. fuldensis Fittkau, 1954, N. improvisa, and N. luteola.
