In the present study, the absence of the phoretic association with other potential hosts for Rheotanytarsus sp. Most of the Odonata with cases of phoresy by Rheotanytarsus sp. These chironomids were associated with only one specimen of Megapodagrionidae, whereas the other larvae were recorded in association with Calopterygidae. Eighty-five Odonata larvae were obtained, 10 (11.76%) with cases of phoresy by Rheotanytarsus sp.
