|discussion=<p><i>Calliergon megalophyllum</i> is probably overlooked in many areas since it usually grows submerged. The species is sometimes confused with large phenotypes of the autoicous <i>C. richardsonii</i>, but normally has a costa that is single rather than branched or 2-fid and reaches almost to the leaf apex instead of ending well before. In addition, the alar groups are slightly smaller and the axillary hairs generally have shorter cells, at least in their distal part, than in <i>C. richardsonii</i>.</p>
