Polycelis (Polycelis) coronata coronata Notes


Kenk R 1972 (citation)- p 25, "Reproduction sexual and asexual. Inhabits springs and cold creeks in southern Wyoming, Utah, Montana, New Mexico."
Kenk R 1973 (citation)- p 6, 'Polycelis coronata coronata inhabits springs and cold creeks in the western parts of the United States. Beck (1954: 81) indicates that in Utah the species is confined to habitats of low water temperature, not exceeding 10 degrees C., a statement which was confirmed by Braithwaite (1962: 21) and which is valid also for other localities of its geographic range. The species is, therefore, found generally at high altitudes.'
