    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.

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

Christopher Sullivan revised the Fourth and Fifth Editions. Erin McCollum developed the Sixth Edition with editorial assistance from Michael Beauchene. The First through Sixth Editions were developed and revised for use with Project SEARCH, a program formerly coordinated by CTDEEP but presently inactive. This Seventh Edition has been slightly modified for use by Connecticut high school students participating in the Connecticut Envirothon Aquatic Ecology workshop. Original drawings provided by Michael Beauchene and by the Volunteer Stream Monitoring Partnership at the University of Minnesota’s Water Resources Center. This page intentionally left blank. About the Key Scope of the Key This key is intended to assist Connecticut Envirothon students in the identification of aquatic benthic macroinvertebrates. As such, it is targeted toward organisms that are most commonly found in the riffle microhabitats of Connecticut streams. When conducting an actual field study of riffle dwelling macroinvertebrates, there may be an organism collected at a site in Connecticut that will not be found in this key. In this case, you should utilize another reference guide to identify the organism. Several useful guides are listed below.

    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.

Corrected 10-X-2013. Accepted 15-XI-2013. Abstract: The trophic ecology of the aquatic insect fauna has been widely studied for the Northern temperate zone. However, the taxa originally classified within a given particular trophic group in temperate ecosystems, do not necessarily exhibit the same dietary profile beyond its geographic limits. Since, the trophic ecology of caddisfly larvae is largely incomplete in the Neotropical Region, the present work aims to describe feed- ing habits inferred from quantitative analysis of data taxonomically resolved at the species level. For this, the feeding habits of three Trichoptera species Marilia cinerea, M.

  • (Trichoptera: Limnephilidae) in Western North America By
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Robert W. Wisseman for the degree of Master ofScience in Entomology presented on August 6, 1987 Title: Biology and Distribution of the Dicosmoecinae (Trichoptera: Limnsphilidae) in Western North America Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: N. H. Anderson Literature and museum records have been reviewed to provide a summary on the distribution, habitat associations and biology of six western North American Dicosmoecinae genera and the single eastern North American genus, Ironoquia. Results of this survey are presented and discussed for Allocosmoecus,Amphicosmoecus and Ecclisomvia. Field studies were conducted in western Oregon on the life-histories of four species, Dicosmoecusatripes, D. failvipes, Onocosmoecus unicolor andEcclisocosmoecus scvlla. Although there are similarities between generain the general habitat requirements, the differences or variability is such that we cannot generalize to a "typical" dicosmoecine life-history strategy. A common thread for the subfamily is the association with cool, montane streams. However, within this stream category habitat associations range from semi-aquatic, through first-order specialists, to river inhabitants. In feeding habits most species are omnivorous, but they range from being primarilydetritivorous to algal grazers. The seasonal occurrence of the various life stages and voltinism patterns are also variable. Larvae show inter- and intraspecificsegregation in the utilization of food resources and microhabitatsin streams. Larval life-history patterns appear to be closely linked to seasonal regimes in stream discharge. A functional role for the various types of case architecture seen between and within species is examined. Manipulation of case architecture appears to enable efficient utilization of a changing seasonal pattern of microhabitats and food resources.
