New records of 48 species in the above listed genera, as well as Plectromacronema ULMER, 1906, are given. With 287 figures and 1 table. – Hydropsychidae, new species, Neotropical Region, new records. INTRODUCTION According to FLINT et al. (1999) about 370 species of Hydropsychidae CURTIS, 1835 are known from the Neotropical Region. Only slightly more species were listed by MORSE (2012). The family is one of the most diverse in the neotropics, surpassed only by the Hydroptilidae STEPHENS, 1836. The Hydropsychidae are divided into the subfamilies Diplectroninae ULMER, 1951, Hydropsychinae CURTIS, 1834, Macronematinae ULMER, 1905 and Smicrideinae FLINT, 1974. The Arctopsychidae are considered a subfamily of Hydropsychidae by some authors (HOLZENTHAL et al. 2007, MORSE 2012), and regarded as a distinct family by others (e.g. SCHMID 1968). In the Neotropical Region, the Macronematinae and Smicrideinae comprise 90% of the known species diversity in the family. These two groups cover the study organisms of this work. Annls hist.-nat. Mus. natn. hung. 104, 2012 216 J. Oláh & K. A. Johanson MATERIAL AND METHODS The study is based on 1495 males and 1749 females belonging to 102 species in 6 ge- nera. All material is preserved in 70–80% alcohol. In order to observe morphological de- tails in the genitalia, the entire abdomen was removed and placed in a small glass beaker of 25 cm3 with 10% KOH solution and boiled for 5–15 minutes for digestion. The duration of the treatment is adjusted individually to the effectiveness of clearing process, which de- pends on the species or even on the nutritive state of tissues or on the physiological condi- tion of the specimens. The process of digestion was followed by examining the transparency of the specimen under treatment, as the dissolution rate of the soft tissues is clearly visible to naked eye. The digested abdomen was subsequently transferred to distilled water and the macerated tissue was removed mechanically by fine tipped forceps and needles. The cleared abdomen was transferred to 80% ethyl alcohol, and to glycerine for examination under microscope. Different sized pins modified to supporting ring bottom was intro- duced into the abdomen and used to hold and stabilise the genitalia in lateral, dorsal and ventral position for drawing. However, the plane of view is never perfect and we made no special procedures of grid, matrix or reflection to produce absolute mirror symmetry of the drawings. Instead, the genital structures are drawn exactly as seen in the microscope. How- ever setae are represented only by their alveoli and moreover their density is only symbolic. If essential the setal length or setal shape are presented by drawing a single or a few setae only. The genital structure was traced by pencil on white paper using a drawing tube moun- ted on a WILD M3Z microscope at between 260–416× magnification. Final illustrations were prepared by enlarging the original pencil drawings and re-drawn on transparent paper by Black India Ink. The inked illustrations were scanned on an Epson Expression 1680 Pro scanner in grayscale and 800 dpi resolution. The plates were arranged, and brightness and contrast edited in Adobe® Photoshop© 8.0 on a Macintosh G5. We used our functional appendicular terminology and not the conventional anato- mical directional terminology to describe the genital structures in species description (OLÁH &JOHANSON 2008). Species descriptions were standardised to ensure consistently formatted and comparable description in general accord with EVENHUIS’ (2007) template principle. We have standardised also the terminology to describe space extensions of variously formed structural elements. The following terms were used to qualify the dimen- sions and extensions of genital structural elements: (1) short or long for length dimension on the longitudinal direction of coronal plane along the anteroposterior axis; (2) low or high (traditionally shallow or deep especially for excisions) for height dimension on the vertical direction of the sagittal plane along the dorsoventral axis and (3) narrow or wide (broad)on the lateral direction of the transversal plane along the mediolateral or left-right axis. The three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system provides theoretical possibility to quantify by measurements the three physical dimensions of length, width, and height of each struc- tural element. However, this quantification is used very seldom in species description. Here we quantify only the length of forewing. Annls hist.-nat.

  • Agrorural Ecosystem Effects on the Macroinvertebrate Assemblages of a Tropical River
    Chapter 12 Agrorural Ecosystem Effects on the Macroinvertebrate Assemblages of a Tropical River Bert Kohlmann, Alejandra Arroyo, Monika Springer and Danny Vásquez Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/59073 1. Introduction Costa Rica is an ideal reference point for global tropical ecology. It has an abundance of tropical forests, wetlands, rivers, estuaries, and active volcanoes. It supports one of the highest known species density (number of species per unit area) [1, 2] on the planet and possesses about 4 % of the world´s total species diversity [3]. Because of its tropical setting, it also serves as an important location for agricultural production, including cultivars such as coffee, bananas, palm hearts, and pineapples. The country has also attracted more ecotourists and adventure travelers per square kilometer than any other country in the world [4]. The agrorural frontier on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica started to spread during the 1970s, especially in its northeastern area. Migrations of land-poor people from the Pacific and mountain areas of the country started to colonize the land that the government had made available [5, 6]. These waves of immigrants tended to establish themselves along river systems. In this way, towns, small to medium-scale family farming, ranching, and plantation agriculture began to base themselves along the main river systems. It was during this time that the human settlements originated along the Dos Novillos River [7]. Residual waters produced by all of the aforementioned human activities are at present discharged into the river systems in the Costa Rican Caribbean area.

    NATURAL HISTORY OF THREE HYDROPSYCHIDAE (TRICHOPTERA, INSECTA) lN A "CERRADO" STREAM FROM NORTHEASTERN SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL Leandro Gonçalves Oliveira 1 Claudio Gilberto Froehlich 2 ABSTRACT. The tàunal composition 01' lhe Hydropsychidae (Trichoptera) 01' Pedregulho Stream is presented. Feeding habits of larvae and behavioural aspects of both larvae and adults are described. KEY WORDS. Trichoptera, Hydropsychidae, SlIIicridea, Leplonema, biology, larvae, bel1aviour Biological studies on the Brazilian aquatic insect fauna are stil\ incipient. This is particular\y valid for lhe Trichoplera. Some references on the subject are MÜLLER (1880), SCHUBART (1946), V ANZOUNI (1964), SCHROEDER-ARAUJO & C1POLU (1986), OLIVEIRA (1988, 1991) and NESSIMIAN (1995). A general presentation on lhe Trichoptera col\ected in Córrego do Pe­ dregulho, São Paulo, and a discussion of lhe role of abiotic factors is found in OLIVEIRA & FROEHUCH (in press). ln this paper aspects of the natural history of Hydropsychidae, in particular of lhe genera Smicridea and Leptonema, are pre­ sented. The cosmopolitan Hydropsychidae is one oflhe largest Trichoptera families in running waters (HAUER & STANFORD 1981; DEUTSCH 1984). Most larvae are col leclors-filterers (WIGGINS 1977; MACKA Y 1984); they can be recognized by the numerous abdominal gil\s and by the sclerotized thoracic terga (MERRlTT & CUMMlNS 1979; FLINT 1982; ROLDÁ N 1990). They build fixed tubular retreats with small stones and plant fragments, wilh the opening directed towards the current (WIGGlNS 1977). Smicridea Mclachlan, 1871, is a very common hydropsychid genus and the sole representative of the subfamily Hydropsychinae in South America (FLINT 1974). lt has been the subject oftaxonomic studies in Argentina (FUNT 1980, 1982, 1983), Chile (FLlNT 1989) and Brazil (FUNT 1978, 1983).

  • DNA Barcode Data Confirm New Species and Reveal Cryptic Diversity in Chilean Smicridea (Smicridea) (Trichoptera:Hydropsychidae)

Pauls1,3, Roger J. Blahnik1,4, Xin Zhou2,5, C. Taylor Wardwell1, 1,6 AND Ralph W. Holzenthal 1 Department of Entomology, University of Minnesota, St Paul, Minnesota, 55108, USA 2 Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, University of Guelph, 50 Stone Road East, Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1G 2W1 Abstract. Mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) sequence data have been both heralded and scrutinized for their ability or lack thereof to discriminate among species for identification (DNA barcoding) or description (DNA taxonomy). Few studies have systematically examined the ability of mtDNA from the DNA barcode region (658 base pair fragment of the 59 terminus of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I gene) to distinguish species based on range-wide sampling of specimens from closely related species. Here we examined the utility of DNA barcode data for delimiting species, associating life stages, and as a potential genetic marker for phylogeographic studies by analyzing a range- wide sample of closely related Chilean representatives of the caddisfly genus Smicridea subgenus Smicridea. Our data revealed the existence of 7 deeply diverged, previously unrecognized lineages and confirmed the existence of 2 new species: Smicridea (S.) patinae, new species and Smicridea (S.) lourditae, new species. Based on our current taxonomic evaluation, we considered the other 5 lineages to be cryptic species. The DNA barcode data proved useful in delimiting species within Chilean Smicridea (Smicridea) and were suitable for life-stage associations.

The Trichoptera (Caddisflies) of the Lesser Antilles By Oliver S. Flint, Jr. Curator^ Division of Neuropteroids The Trichoptera or caddisflies are one of the panorpoid orders of insects closely related to the Mecoptera and Lepidoptera. The adults are quite mothhke in appearance, but their wings are generally covered with hairs rather than scales as in the Lepidoptera. They are holometabolous with their larval and pupal stages aquatic or, in a few cases, subaquatic or terrestrial. The larvae are most frequently noticed because of theh habit of constructing some sort of shelter, which in certain families is a basically tubular case that encloses most of the body and that is carried around by the larvae as they wander over the substrate. The larvae of other families construct silken retreats that are fixed to the substrate and that serve to trap food particles from the flowing water. The trichopterous fauna of the Lesser AntiUes has been almost completely ignored in the past by systematists.
