Mimicry is one of the best examples of coevolution. For a mimetic system to function, the mimic has to equal its model. Due to this close dependence, mimetic systems promise deep insights into modes and means of evolution. Mimicry is known to occur in many taxa across different groups of organisms. However, while a plethora of mimetic systems exist, cross-phyla convergences have only rarely been reported in shelled gastropods. Our literature survey brought to light several mimetic systems including gastropods (as model or mimic), all of them in either a marine or a terrestrial setting. We here report on the first potential case of mimicry involving freshwater snails. We found larval cases of European Helicopsyche caddisfly to closely resemble Valvata gastropod shells in shape and size. In particular, stunning is the detailed similarity of features in these trichopteran cases to those characteristic for snail shells, for example, apex, aperture and umbilicus, hinting at a strong selection pressure to be involved. We discuss this unique case of mimicry that might hold unparalleled insight in mimetic relationships, taking into account alternative environmental factors and potential predatory dupes, in particular birds that might have successively caused the evolution of coiled cases in helicopsychid trichopterans.

“…It currently occurs in Spain (Gonzalez et al 1992) but is critically endangered in Latvia (Spuris 1989), the Czech Republic (Chvojka & Komzak 2008), and Germany (Klima 1998). Its last records date from 1949 in Belgium (Stroot 1985), 1932 in Italy (Cianficconi et al 2005), 1944in Switzerland (Lubini-Ferlin & Vicentini 2005, and 1955 in Romania (Botosaneanu 1955). In France, H. leucophaea occurs in several large river basins (Garonne, Loire, Rhône, Seine, and Meuse; data from OPIE Benthos: www.opie-benthos.fr/opie/insecte.php).…”

Co-occurrence of mature larvae and male pharate pupae in benthos samples from the Loire River enabled descriptions of the larva of Homilia leucophaea. Using characters of the head capsule, the labrum, the meso-and metanotum, and the proand metathoracic legs, we compared H. leucophaea with larvae of six western European Athripsodes species, including a larval key to these species. The larva of H. leucophaea shares characters with some of the six Athripsodes species. However, without a phylogenetic analysis including larvae, pupae, and adults of Homilia species from the Afrotropical Region, it is currently impossible to decide about a potential synonymy between Athripsodes and Homilia.
