Abstract
A revision of the Limnius perrisi subspecies group in the Iberian Peni nsula is presented. Limnius perrisi subcarinatus (Sharp, 1872) is a ne w synonym of Limnius perrisi carinatus (Perez-Arcas, 1865). Morphologi cal variability related to some elytral interstriae corresponds to a g eographical gradation. Limnius perrisi is restricted to the headwaters of high-slope streams with low levels of dissolved minerals.
