Abstract
The seed-like larval cases of hydroptilid caddis flies may be mistaken for plant remains in subfossil studies. However, being correctly identified, they may be important for the interpretation of former freshwater environments. Two such subfossil caddis fly remains from Holocene lake sediments and river deposits are described morphologically and their palaeoecological significance interpreted.
