Since the report of (Simulium) tredecimatum from "the stomach of a trout, England" no specimens of the genus Metacnephia have been reported from the British Isles . A full account of the morphological features of the larvae, pupae and adults of a new species, Metacnephia amphora is given together with a brief account of its larval growth and presence on a wide range of substrata in a small, temporary stream .
