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.

Within genera, species differences in egg morphology are small and not always useful for species recognition, however eggs from one population of Calineuria are significantly different from those found in other populations and this population is given informal recognition as a possible new species.

    A SYNOPSIS OF PART OF THE NEOTROPICAL CRANE-FLIES OF THE SUBFAMH^Y LIMNOBIN^. By Charles P. Alexander, Of the Entomological Lahoratory of Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. INTRODUCTION. The present paper is the partial result of the study of some exten- sive collections of tropical American Tipulidse or crane-flies. In this paper the tribes Eriopterini and Limnophilini are included. A second part will include the tribes Limnobini, Antochini, and Hexa- tommi, completing the Limnobinse, and a third will treat of the Tipulmse. In this paper the term Neotropical is used as synon^^mous with the Neogsea (m part), of Sclater (1858) and the Dendrogjea of Sclater (1874). It mcludes South America and the adjacent Falkland, South Georgia, Juan Fernandez, and Galapagoes Islands; the West Indies, or Antilles; Central America, Mexico, and the extreme southern portions of Florida and Texas. Besides describing all new forms and redescribing such species as are inadequately handled in previous descriptions, I have thought it might be of some value to future students to include keys to the genera and species of the regional forms. It should be understood, however, that the difficulties m the way of such an attempt are such as to almost discourage one from undertaking it. One must remem- ber that a very considerable number of the species have never been rediscovered since then- origmal description; many of these descrip- tions are brief, vague, and altogether unsatisfactory. Those of Fabricius would be as bad as those of Walker if it were not for the work of Wiedemann, who had access to the Fabrician types.

  • Plecoptera: Perlidae), with an Annotated Checklist of the Subfamily in the Realm

The monotypic Taiwanese genus Mesoperla Klapálek, 1913 is redescribed on the basis of a male syntype specimen, and its affinities are re-evaluated. The single female type specimen of further two Oriental monotypic genera, Kalidasia Klapálek, 1914 and Nirvania Klapálek, 1914, are confirmed to be lost or destroyed respectively; both genera are considered as nomina dubia. The Sichuan endemic Acroneuria grahami Wu & Claassen, 1934 is redescribed on the basis of male holotype. Distinctive characters of the genus Brahmana Klapálek, 1914 consisting of five, inadequately known Oriental species are discussed. Flavoperla needhami (Klapálek, 1916) and Sinacroneuria sinica (Yang & Yang, 1998) comb. novae are suggested for an Indian species originally described in Gibosia Okamoto, 1912 and a Chinese species originally described in Acroneuria Pictet, 1841. At present, 62 species of Acroneuriinae, classified in 10 valid genera are reported from the Oriental Realm but 29 species are inadequately known. A key is presented to distinguish males of the Asian Acroneuriinae genera. Asian distribution of each genera are detailed and depicted on a map.

  • Aquatic Insect Ecophysiological Traits Reveal Phylogenetically Based Differences in Dissolved Cadmium Susceptibility

Stewart- and Bill P. Stark' Abstract.— Nymphs of the type or other representative species of the 22 North American Perlodinae genera are comparatively described and illustrated for the first time. 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.

    Abstracts submitted for presentation during the Compiled By Leonard C. Ferrington Jr. 17 July 2003 ABSTRACT FOR THE THIENEMANN HONORARY LECTURE THE ROLE OF CHROMOSOMES IN CHIRONOMID SYSTEMATICS, ECOLOGY AND PHYLOGENY WOLFGANG F. WUELKER* Chironomids have giant chromosomes with useful characters: different chromosome number, different combination of chromosome arms, number and position of nucleolar organizers, amount of heterochromatin, presence of puffs and Balbiani rings, banding pattern. For comparison of species, it is important that the bands or groups of bands can be homologized. Chromosomes are nearly independent of environmental factors, however they show variability in form of structural modifications and inversion polymorphism. Systematic aspects: New species of chironomids have sometimes been found on the basis of chromosomes, e.g. morphologically well defined "species" turned out to contain two or more karyotypes. Chromosome preparations were also sometimes declared as species holotypes. Moreover, chromosomes were helpful to find errors in previous investigations or to rearrange groups.- Nevertheless, where morphology and chromosomal data are not sufficient for species identification, additional results of electrophoresis of enzymes or hemoglobins as well as molecular-biological data were often helpful and necessary . Ecological, parasitological and zoogeographical aspects: An example of niche formation are the endemic Sergentia-species of the 1500 m deep Laike Baikal in Siberia. Some species are stenobathic and restricted to certain depth regions. The genetic sex of nematode-infested Chironomus was unresolved for a long time. External morphological characters were misleading, because parasitized midges have predominantly female characters. However, transfer of the parasites to species with sex-linked chromosomal characters (strains of Camptochironomus) could show that half of the parasitized midges are genetic males.

Stream ecosystems are spatially heterogeneous environments due to the habitat diversity 25 that define different microhabitat patches within a single area. Despite the influence of 26 habitat heterogeneity on the biodiversity of insect community, little is known about how 27 habitat heterogeneity governs species coexistence and community assembly.
