Diversity of Trichoptera Fauna and Its Correlation with Water Quality Parameters at Pasak Cholasit Reservoir, Central Thailand
Environment and Natural Resources J. Vol 12, No.2, December 2014:35-41 35 Diversity of Trichoptera Fauna and its Correlation with Water Quality Parameters at Pasak Cholasit reservoir, Central Thailand Taeng-On Prommi 1* and Isara Thani 2 1Faculty of Liberal Arts and Science, Kasetsart University, Kamphaeng Saen Campus, Thailand 2Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Mahasarakham University, Thailand Abstract The objectives of this study were to study the diversity of the Trichoptera fauna and the physicochemical parameters of water quality, as well as the correlation between physicochemical parameters and biodiversity of Trichoptera fauna for monitoring of water quality. The specimens were sampled monthly using portable black light traps from January to December 2010 at the inflow and outflow of Pasak Cholasit reservoir. A total of 20,380 adult caddis flies representing 7 families and 27 species were collected from the sampling sites in the present study. The family Hydropsychidae contained the greatest number of species (29%, 8 species), followed by Leptoceridae (26%, 7 species), Ecnomidae (19%, 5 species), Psychomyiidae (11%, 3 species), Philopotamidae (7%, 2 species), and Dipseudopsidae and Xiphocentronidae (4%, 1 species). Results of CCA ordination showed that eleven selected physicochemical water quality parameters (i.e., air and water temperature, pH of water, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, ammonia-nitrogen, nitrate-nitrogen, orthophosphate, sulfate and turbidity of water) were the important -

Subterranean Biology 10: 61-73, 2012 (2013) Lazare Botosaneanu ‘Naturalist’ 61 doi: 10.3897/subtbiol.10.4760 Lazare Botosaneanu ‘Naturalist’ 1927 – 2012 demic training shortly after the Second World War at the Faculty of Biology of the University of Bucharest, the same city where he was born and raised. At a young age he had already showed interest in Zoology. He wrote his first publication –about a new caddisfly species– at the age of 20. As Botosaneanu himself wanted to remark, the prominent Romanian zoologist and man of culture Constantin Motaş had great influence on him. A small portrait of Motaş was one of the few objects adorning his ascetic office in the Amsterdam Museum. Later on, the geneticist and evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky and the evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr greatly influenced his thinking. In 1956, he was appoint- ed as a senior researcher at the Institute of Speleology belonging to the Rumanian Academy of Sciences. Lazare Botosaneanu began his career as an entomologist, and in particular he studied Trichoptera. Until the end of his life he would remain studying this group of insects and most of his publications are dedicated to the Trichoptera and their environment. His colleague and friend Prof. Mar- cos Gonzalez, of University of Santiago de Compostella (Spain) recently described his contribution to Entomolo- gy in an obituary published in the Trichoptera newsletter2 Lazare Botosaneanu’s first contribution to the study of Subterranean Biology took place in 1954, when he co-authored with the Romanian carcinologist Adriana Damian-Georgescu a paper on animals discovered in the drinking water conduits of the city of Bucharest. -

CALOR2 Universidade Federal da Bahia, Instituto de Biologia, Departamento de Zoologia, PPG Diversidade Animal, Laboratório de Entomo- logia Aquática - LEAq. Rua Barão de Jeremoabo, 147, campus Ondina, Ondina, CEP 40170-115, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Two new species of Xiphocentron (Trichoptera: Xiphocentronidae) from Northeastern Brazil are diagnosed, described, and illustrated. Xiphocentron (Antillotrichia) kamakan n. sp. has inferior appendages each with a shape discontinuity (twist) between the first and second articles of inferior appendage, similar to that found in X. (Antillotrichia) rhamnes Schmid 1982, X. (Antillotrichia) serestus Schmid 1982, and X. (Antillotrichia) mnesteus Schmid 1982; however, it can be distinguished from these species by each inferior appendage having two darkly sclerotized spinulous regions ventrally on the basomesal and midmesal margins. Xiphocentron (Antillotrichia) maiteae n. sp. can be differentiated from all other congeners by having the basoventral margin of each inferior appendage strongly produced posterad. A key to males of Brazilian species of Xiphocentron is provided. Key words: aquatic insects, biodiversity, caddisflies, Neotropical, taxonomy Introduction Xiphocentronidae was erected by Ross (1949) but synonymized with Psychomyiidae by Edwards (1961) based on larval similarities, being considered at that time as a subfamily Xiphocentroninae of Psychomyiidae. -

Trichoptera: Hydrobiosidae) from Sabah, East Malaysia
New species of Apsilochorema (Trichoptera: Hydrobiosidae) from Sabah, East Malaysia J. Huisman Huisman, J. New species of Apsilochorema (Trichoptera: Hydrobiosidae) from Sabah, East Malaysia. Zool. Med. Leiden 66 (5), 31.vii.l992:127-137, figs. 1-6.— ISSN 0024-0672. Key words: Trichoptera; Hydrobiosidae; Apsilochorema; taxonomy; Sabah; East Malaysia. Four new species of the genus Apsilochorema are described from submontane to montane areas in Sabah (Borneo), East Malaysia. Jolanda Huisman, Department of Entomology, University of Minnesota, St Paul, MN 55108, U. S. A. Introduction The genera Hydrobiosis and Psilochorema were first described by Mac Lachlan (1868), who included them in the Hydropsychidae. Ulmer (1905) transferred them, along with Atopsyche Banks, to the new subfamily Hydrobiosinae of the Rhyaco- philidae. Schmid (1970) elevated the subfamily to family status and recently (Schmid 1989) argued that it may be more closely related to certain Hydropsychoidea than to Rhyacophiloidea. Schmid's monumental 1989 treatise should be consulted for a comprehensive review of the Hydrobiosidae, now represented by 50 extant genera found mainly in the southern hemisphere, excluding Africa. The majority of genera are endemic to New Zealand (10 genera), Australia and Tasmania (14 genera) in the Australasian Region or to southern Chile and Argentina (22 genera) in the Neotropical Region. Two additional genera are endemic to respectively New Caledonia and New Guinea. Only one genus, Atopsyche, is widely distributed in the New World, occurring throughout the mountainous areas of South and Central America, northward to the southwestern United States. Similarly, only Apsilochorema Ulmer, 1907 (type species Psilochorema indicum Ulmer, 1905: 38-40) occurs widely in the Oriental Region and adjacent areas of the Old World (Schmid, 1989, fig. -

They are distributed unevenly; with the greatest number and density occurring in the Oriental Biogeographic Region and the smallest in the East Palearctic. Ecosystem services provided by Trichoptera are also very diverse and include their essential roles in food webs, in biological monitoring of water quality, as food for fish and other predators (many of which are of human concern), and as engineers that stabilize gravel bed sediment. They are especially important in capturing and using a wide variety of nutrients in many forms, transforming them for use by other organisms in freshwaters and surrounding riparian areas. -

Diversity and distribution of the Caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera) of Ecuador Blanca Ríos-Touma1, Ralph W. Holzenthal2, Jolanda Huisman2, Robin Thomson2 and Ernesto Rázuri-Gonzales2,3 1 Facultad de Ingenierías y Ciencias Agropecuarias, Ingeniería Ambiental/Unidad de Biotecnología y Medio Ambiente -BIOMA-, Universidad de las Americas, Campus Queri, Calle José Queri, Quito, Ecuador 2 Department of Entomology, University of Minnesota—Twin Cities Campus, Saint Paul, MN, United States 3 Departamento de Entomología, Museo de Historia Natural, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru ABSTRACT Background. Aquatic insects and other freshwater animals are some of the most threatened forms of life on Earth. Caddisflies (Trichoptera) are highly biodiverse in the Neotropics and occupy a wide variety of freshwater habitats. In Andean countries, including Ecuador, knowledge of the aquatic biota is limited, and there is a great need for baseline data on the species found in these countries. Here we present the first list of Trichoptera known from Ecuador, a country that harbors two global biodiversity ``hotspots.'' Methods. We conducted a literature review of species previously reported from Ecuador and supplemented these data with material we collected during five recent field inventories from about 40 localities spanning both hotspots. Using species presence data for each Ecuadorian province, we calculated the CHAO 2 species estimator to obtain the minimum species richness for the country. Results. We recorded 310 species, including 48 new records from our own field inventories for the country. CHAO 2 calculations showed that only 54% of the species have been found. Hydroptilidae and Hydropsychidae were the most species rich families. -

DESCRIPTION AND DIAGNOSIS OF ASSOCIATED LARVAE AND ADULTS OF VIETNAMESE AND SOUTH CAROLINA CADDISFLIES (TRICHOPTERA) A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Entomology by Madeline Sage Genco May 2018 Accepted by: Dr. John C. Morse, Committee Co-chair Dr. Michael Caterino, Committee Co-chair Dr. Kyle Barrett ABSTRACT Globally, only 868 trichopteran larvae have been described to enable species-level identification; that is only 0.05% of all caddisfly species. In the Oriental Region, almost none (0.016%) of the larvae are known. Continued work on describing larval species may improve the accuracy of water quality monitoring metrics. Genetic barcoding (with mtCOI) was used to associate unknown larvae with known or unknown adults. The morphology of the larvae was then described in words as well as in illustrations to aid species-level identification.
