  • Species Fact Sheet for Homoplectra Schuhi
    SPECIES FACT SHEET Common Name: Schuh’s Homoplectran Caddisfly Scientific Name: Homoplectra schuhi Denning 1965 Phylum: Mandibulata Class: Insecta Order: Trichoptera Suborder: Annulipalpia Family: Hydropsychidae Subfamily: Diplectroninae Conservation Status Global Status (2005): G3Q – Vulnerable, but taxonomic questions persist (last reviewed 25 Mar 2005) National Status (United States): N3 - Vulnerable (23 Feb 2005) State Status (Oregon): S3 - Vulnerable (NatureServe 2015) Oregon Biodiversity Information Center: List 3 IUCN Red List: NE – Not evaluated Taxonomic Note This species has been given a global status of G3Q due to the limited number of specimens that have been reviewed to date, and the variability of diagnostic characteristics (NatureServe 2015). This genus is in need of additional collecting and taxonomic review, which may lead to synonymization with older described species (Wisseman 2015, Ruiter 2015). For example, specimens identified as H. luchia Denning 1966 may in fact be synonyms of H. schuhi (Ruiter 2015). Technical Description A microscope is required to identify Homoplectra schuhi, as identifications are based on genitalia anatomy. The advice of a Trichoptera expert is suggested. See Denning (1965) for lateral view drawings of the male and female genitalia. Adult: The adults of this species are small, moth-like insects in the caddisfly family Hydropsychidae. Homoplectra males are recognized by the complexity of the phallic apparatus, which can be complicated by very strong development of several sclerotized branches (Schmid 1998). Holotype male: Length 6 mm. General color of head, thorax and abdomen dark brown, wings tan with no pattern, legs and antennae varying shades of brownish. Pubescence of head, thorax and legs aureous. Fifth sternite with a dorsal filament enlarged distally and curved dorso-caudad.

  • Data Quality, Performance, and Uncertainty in Taxonomic Identification for Biological Assessments

Leppo4 Tetra Tech, Inc., 400 Red Brook Blvd., Suite 200, Owings Mills, Maryland 21117-5159 USA Abstract. Taxonomic identifications are central to biological assessment; thus, documenting and reporting uncertainty associated with identifications is critical. The presumption that comparable results would be obtained, regardless of which or how many taxonomists were used to identify samples, lies at the core of any assessment. As part of a national survey of streams, 741 benthic macroinvertebrate samples were collected throughout the eastern USA, subsampled in laboratories to ;500 organisms/sample, and sent to taxonomists for identification and enumeration. Primary identifications were done by 25 taxonomists in 8 laboratories. For each laboratory, ;10% of the samples were randomly selected for quality control (QC) reidentification and sent to an independent taxonomist in a separate laboratory (total n ¼ 74), and the 2 sets of results were compared directly. The results of the sample-based comparisons were summarized as % taxonomic disagreement (PTD) and % difference in enumeration (PDE). Across the set of QC samples, mean values of PTD and PDE were ;21 and 2.6%, respectively.

  • Fossil Insects.*
    ANNALS OF The Entomological Society of America Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/aesa/article/10/1/1/8284 by guest on 25 September 2021 Volume X MARCH, 19 17 Number 1 FOSSIL INSECTS.* By T. D. A. COCKERELL. In these serious days, it seems just a little grotesque that I should cross half a continent to address you on a subject so remote from the current of human life as fossil insects. The limitations of our society do indeed forbid such topics as the causes of the war or the evil effects of intercollegiate athletics; but I might have chosen to discuss lice or mosquitoes—any of those insects whose activities have before now decided the fate of nations. My excuse for avoiding these more lively topics only aggravates the offense, for it is the fact that I have never given them adequate attention, but have in the past ten years occupied myself with matters having for the most part no obvious economic application. There is, however, another point of view. Many years ago I had the good fortune to meet the eminent ornithologist, Elliott Coues, at Santa Fe. We spent a considerable part of the night discussing a variety of subjects, from spiritualism to rattlesnakes, and when we parted he made a remark which those who knew him will recognize as characteristic. He said, "Cockerell, I really believe that if it had not been for science, you would have been a dangerous crank!" Surely experience and history alike confirm the essential sagacity of the observa­ tion, as applied not merely to your lecturer, but to mankind in general.

  • Ecological and Economic Importance of Trichoptera (Aquatic Insect)
    125 Ecological and Economic Importance of Trichoptera (Aquatic Insect) Taeng On Prommi* Faculty of Liberal Arts and Science, Kasetsart University, Kamphaeng Saen Campus, Nakhon Pathom Province Abstract Caddisfly insects, order Trichoptera, are one of the most common aquatic invertebrates occurring around the world in rivers, streams, and lakes. They are almost exclusively aquatic in their larval stages and metamorphose to the adult stage in the terrestrial habitat. The aquatic larvae use silk to construct cases in which they reside or to spin silken nets to capture food suspended in the water column. Some caddisfly larvae are caseless. The adults, with their body and wings covered with fine hairs, are crepuscular and resemble small moths. Larvae are important components of aquatic food webs. Most are intolerant of pollution and serve as biological indicators of water quality. They have great advantages and disadvantages in economic terms. The economic benefits obtained from caddisflies include uses such as water quality indicators, nutrition in the human diet, jewelry, and forensic entomology. Even though caddisflies provide many positive ecological and economic benefits, a few species have negative effects. They cause damage to rice crops, pose traffic hazards, and cause allergic reactions. This review provides an overview of the ecological and economic importance of aquatic insects of the Trichoptera order. In addition, research on the Trichoptera order in Thailand are presented.

  • Tardigrades: an Imaging Approach, a Record of Occurrence, and A
    TARDIGRADES: AN IMAGING APPROACH, A RECORD OF OCCURRENCE, AND A BIODIVERSITY INVENTORY By STEVEN LOUIS SCHULZE A thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Camden Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Science Graduate Program in Biology Written under the direction of Dr. John Dighton And approved by ____________________________ Dr. John Dighton ____________________________ Dr. William Saidel ____________________________ Dr. Emma Perry ____________________________ Dr. Jennifer Oberle Camden, New Jersey May 2020 THESIS ABSTRACT Tardigrades: An Imaging Approach, A Record of Occurrence, and a Biodiversity Inventory by STEVEN LOUIS SCHULZE Thesis Director: Dr. John Dighton Three unrelated studies that address several aspects of the biology of tardigrades— morphology, records of occurrence, and local biodiversity—are herein described. Chapter 1 is a collaborative effort and meant to provide supplementary scanning electron micrographs for a forthcoming description of a genus of tardigrade. Three micrographs illustrate the structures that will be used to distinguish this genus from its confamilials. An In toto lateral view presents the external structures relative to one another. A second micrograph shows a dentate collar at the distal end of each of the fourth pair of legs, a posterior sensory organ (cirrus E), basal spurs at the base of two of four claws on each leg, and a ventral plate. The third micrograph illustrates an appendage on the second leg (p2) of the animal and a lateral appendage (C′) at the posterior sinistral margin of the first paired plate (II). This image also reveals patterning on the plate margin and the leg.

  • Oliver S. Flint, Jr. (1931-2019)
    Oliver S. Flint, Jr. (1931-2019) An obituary of this outstanding naturalist and world renowned expert on caddisflies appears on pages 74-88 of this issue. 74 BANISTERIA NO. 52, 2019 Banisteria, Number 52, pages 74–88 later in the Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological © 2019 Virginia Natural History Society Society (Flint, 1956). It was the first of his many papers on caddisflies. Ollie pursued further study in the Obituary Department of Entomology and Limnology at Cornell University, where he earned a Ph.D. in 1960 under the Oliver S. Flint, Jr. direction of Clifford O. Berg (1912–1987), who studied (1931-2019) sciomyzid flies and snail-borne diseases, being the first to discover that fly larvae prey on snails (Brown et al., 2010). Ollie was a National Science Foundation Predoctoral Fellow at Cornell from 1957–1959. His 264- page dissertation, entitled “Taxonomy and biology of Nearctic limnephilid larvae (Trichoptera) with special reference to species in eastern United States” was published in 1960 in Entomologica Americana. Because of his expertise in the fields of entomology, botany, and geology at an early age, Ollie had been offered graduate fellowships in all three disciplines, but chose the former for his career. However, he maintained his interests in botany and geology throughout his lifetime, and became quite knowledgeable of tropical botany. In 1961, Ollie was hired as an Associate Curator of Entomology by the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, D.C. Dr. Oliver (“Ollie”) Simeon Flint, Jr., world He assumed responsibility for a relatively small renowned expert on caddisflies, died on May 18, 2019, collection of Neuropteroid insects that was previously at the age of 87 after a prolonged period of gradually cared for by Sophy I.
