No. 10 1990/1991 Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum Brigham Young University Provo, Utah 84602 PBRIA A Newsletter for Plecopterologists EDITORS: Richard W, Baumann Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum Brigham Young University Provo, Utah 84602 Peter Zwick Limnologische Flußstation Max-Planck-Institut für Limnologie, Postfach 260, D-6407, Schlitz, West Germany EDITORIAL ASSISTANT: Bonnie Snow REPORT 3rd N orth A merican Stonefly S ymposium Boris Kondratieff hosted an enthusiastic group of plecopterologists in Fort Collins, Colorado during May 17-19, 1991. More than 30 papers and posters were presented and much fruitful discussion occurred. An enjoyable field trip to the Colorado Rockies took place on Sunday, May 19th, and the weather was excellent. Boris was such a good host that it was difficult to leave, but many participants traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico to attend the annual meetings of the North American Benthological Society. Bill Stark gave us a way to remember this meeting by producing a T-shirt with a unique “Spirit Fly” design. ANNOUNCEMENT 11th International Stonefly Symposium Stan Szczytko has planned and organized an excellent symposium that will be held at the Tree Haven Biological Station, University of Wisconsin in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, USA. The registration cost of $300 includes lodging, meals, field trip and a T- Shirt. This is a real bargain so hopefully many colleagues and friends will come and participate in the symposium August 17-20, 1992. Stan has promised good weather and good friends even though he will not guarantee that stonefly adults will be collected during the field trip. Printed August 1992 1 OBITUARIES RODNEY L. -

The first complete generic key for the subfamily incorporates recent nymph discoveries and revisions in classification. References to all previous nymph descriptions and illustrations and major life cycle and food habits studies are given for the 53 North American species in the subfamilv, and a listing of species and their current distributions by states and provinces is provided for each genus. The previously unknown nymph of Chcrnokrihts misnomus is described and illustrated. -

Some Evolutionary Trends in Plecoptera
Some Evolutionary Trends in Plecoptera W. E. Ricker, Indiana University Structural Evolution The families and subfam ilies of stoneflies recognized by the writer are as follows: Distribution A. Suborder Holognatha (Setipalpia) Eustheniidae Eustheniinae Australia and New Zealand Diamphipnoinae Southern South America Austroperlidae Australia and New Zealand Leptoperlidae Leptoperlinae Australia and New Zealand; Fiji Islands; temperate South America Scopurinae Japan Peltoperlidae North and South America; east Asia and the bordering islands, south to Borneo Nemouridae Notonemourinae Australia and New Zealand Nemourinae Holarctic region Leuctrinae Holarctic region; South Africa; Tierra del Fuego Capniinae Holarctic Taeniopteryginae Holarctic Pteronarcidae North America; eastern Siberia B. Suborder Systellognatha (Filipalpia) Perlodidae Isogeninae Holarctic Perlodinae Holarctic Isoperlinae Holarctic Chloroperlidae Paraperlinae Nearctic Chloroperlinae Holarctic Perlidae Perlinae Old-world tropics, and the temperature regions of Africa, Eurasia and eastern North America Acroneuriinae North and South America; eastern and southeastern Asia 1 Contribution number 421 from the Department of Zoology, [ndiana University. 197 198 Indiana Academy of Science Tillyard places the ancestors of present day stoneflies in the family Lemmatophoridae of the Permian order Protoperlaria. These insects had small wing-like lateral expansions of the prothorax, and a fairly well- developed posterior (concave) median vein in both wings, both of which have been lost in modern stoneflies. Developments in some of the mor- phological features which have been most studied are as follows: Nymphal mouth parts: The holognathous families are characterized by bulky mandibles, by short thick palpi, and by having the paraglossae and glossae of the labium about equal in length. In the adult the man- dibles remain large and functional. -

RESEARCH/REVIEW ARTICLE Wing and body size polymorphism in populations of the stonefly Arcynopteryx dichroa McL. (Plecoptera: Perlodidae) in the Ural Mountains, Russia Olga A. Loskutova1 & Lidia A. Zhiltzova2 1 Institute of Biology, Komi Scientific Center, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kommunisticheskaya 28, Syktyvkar 167982, Russia 2 Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Universitetskaja naberezˇnaja 1, St. Petersburg 199034, Russia Keywords Abstract Wing length; short-winged population; Urals; mountain lakes; latitude; isolation. Specimens from five Arcynopteryx dichroa (McL.) populations were examined to study wing length and body size at different latitudes and altitudes. In Correspondence northern Europe, female A. dichroa are usually long winged, while males are Olga A. Loskutova, Institute of Biology, Komi short winged. During the past 20 years, only two short-winged populations Scientific Center, Ural Branch of the Russian have been found, in a nameless lake, herein called Lake Ozernoe, and in Academy of Sciences, Kommunisticheskaya Bolshaya Lagorta Lake, in Russia’s Ural Mountains. In the isolated population 28, RU-167982 Syktyvkar, Russia. of Ozernoe Lake (850 m a.s.l.), both sexes were micropterous. In Bolshaya E-mail: [email protected] Lagorta Lake (380 m a.s.l.), females were brachypterous. However, at a higher altitude (560 and 760 m a.s.l.), a population was found with macropterous females. Specimens of both short-winged populations had smaller body length than long-winged populations. Our findings give limited support to the idea that stonefly wings are reduced with altitude and latitude and more support to the supposition that small wing size is associated with population isolation resulting from lengthy geological isolation. -

Community Structure, Life Histories and Secondary Production of Stoneflies in Two Small Mountain Streams with Different Degree of Forest Cover
J. Limnol., 2016; 75(1): 169-179 ORIGINAL ARTICLE DOI: 10.4081/jlimnol.2015.1262 Community structure, life histories and secondary production of stoneflies in two small mountain streams with different degree of forest cover Pavel BERACKO,* Andrea KUŠNÍROVÁ, Michaela PARTLOVÁ, Jana CICEKOVÁ Department of Ecology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius University, B-2 Mlynská Dolina, SK-842 15, Bratislava, Slovakia *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Our study examines community structure and nymphal biology (life cycles and secondary production) of stoneflies in two adjacent mountain streams with different degree of forest cover in the Prosiečanka River Basin (Chočské Vrchy Mts., West Carpathians). One of the streams has non-forested catchment, converted to meadows and pastures, while the other one has catchment with 60% covered by spruce forest. Differences in forest cover and in thermal regime of the streams were reflected by the difference of stonefly communities at their structural and functional level. Species Nemoura cinerea and Leuctra aurita created stonefly assemblage in non-forested stream, whereas Nemoura cinerea also occurred in naturally forested stream together with species Leuctra armata, Leuctra nigra, Leuctra prima, Siphonoperla neglecta and Arcynopteryx dichroa. All examined species had maximally annual life cycle and in eudominant species Nemoura cinerea one month shift was found in nymphal hatching and adult emergence betweenonly streams. Total secondary production of stoneflies in undisturbed stream (126.46 mg DW m–2 y–1) was more than two times higher than the production in non-forested stream (47.39 mg DW m–2 y–1). Key words: Deforestation; Plecoptera; life cycle; secondary production; smalluse stream. -

Four of them, Megarcys irregularis Banks, M. subtruncata Hanson, M. watertoni (Ricker), and M. yosemite (Needham & Claassen) are described in detail for the first time. Body size and setation, wingpad macroptery/brachyptery, and gill size were variable between populations of some species. Diagnostic differences were not found in late instar larvae of the five species in color and pigment patterns, mouthparts, body and appendage setation, gill size and structure, and developing male and female genitalia. The detailed descriptions and measurements help expand the generic diagnosis, show morphological differences between populations of different habitats, and provide an atlas of illustrations for larvae of the five species.
