Saether (1990) recognized four African species of Limnophyes, of which Limnophyes bubo Saether, Limnophyes lobiscus Saether and Limnophyes minimus (Meigen) appear to be restricted to high-elevation sites in East Africa (including the Rwenzori and Mount Kenya; Saether, 1990) , whereas Limnophyes natalensis (Kieffer) is also widely distributed in lowland lakes and streams throughout eastern and southern Africa. Through study of recent death assemblages of larval remains in surface sediments, we found that the chironomid fauna of high-elevation (>3000 m a.s.l.) lakes and tarns on glaciated mountains of equatorial East Africa is diverse in species and highly distinct from that of low-and mid-elevation African lakes.	./cache/cord-009934-f4moopcc.txt	./txt/cord-009934-f4moopcc.txt
