| Summary | Palingenia longicauda It is a very rare and critically endangered South-Central European species, connected with large lowland rivers. In Poland it occurred in the Vistula River and its tributaries still at the beginning of the 20th century but since then its presence has not been observed (recorded); it most probably has become extinct. Larvae of this mayfly live in thick silt-clayey bottom deposits, digging there U-shaped burrows. The species is believed to have become extinct due to destruction of its habitat, primarily due to river regulation and water pollution. Its reintroduction is possible in Poland but the chances of success are meagre. Not protected by law in Poland. | |
