FERNAND SCHMID Terminology for Genitalic Characters © Hans Malicky/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at BRAUERIA (Lunz am See, Austria) 26: 7-18 (1999) used in the classification of many different groups of Trichoptera He illustrated his own work with drawings of the highest professional quality. He stressed the need for authors to adopt a consistent FERNAND SCHMID terminology for genitalic characters. In Some new trends in Trichopterology (1979) he remarked, „It would also be necessary for Fernand Schmid, recognised authority on the Trichoptera of the trichopterists to refrain from using personal and fancy terms for the genital World, died in Ottawa, Canada, on November 22, 1998, at the age of 74. appendages. They should discipline themselves to adopt the same Born May 12, 1924, in Sion, Switzerland, he later received his License in strictness of vocabulary as they have already accepted for the wing Science in 1951, and DSc in 1953, both from the University of Lausanne, venation." He strongly recommended use of Anker Nielsen's terminology, where he studied under Professors J. de Beaumont and R. Matthey. which he adopted and modified in Genera des Trichoptères du Canada et des États adjacents (1980a). This work set a new standard in the study of adult Caddisflies, defining genera and families using a broader set of characteristics. These included the abdominal haemogill system, and the internal glands of abdominal sternite V, the morphology of which was previously poorly known. The Genera, out of print for some time, has recently been reissued in English, with revised text (SCHMID, 1998). On occasion Schmid criticised his colleagues' work, writing in a style perhaps more common in Europe than North America It was his philosophy that differing opinions in science should be expressed openly. As he freely criticised the work of others, so he was not offended when others disagreed with him. Undoubtedly, his strongly held opinions sparked lively debate, often resulting in more clearly understood issues. His other interests also included two groups of aquatic Diptera; he described four new species of Dasymolophilus (Tipulidae), and 30 new species of Thaumaleidae (making him an authority on the latter). He was quite fond of Butterflies, particularly Omithoptera, of which he described a new subspecies He also had a passion for Orchids in particular, but also grew other flowering plants at home. In music he favoured the classical composers, especially Mozart, of whose works his favourite was Die Zauberflöte. He rarely attended meetings, but appeared at the fourth and fifth International Symposia on Trichoptera, held at Clemson, South Carolina, USA, and Lyon, France, respectively, where many colleagues met him, and attended his presentations. He often remarked that his attendance at meetings was unnecessary, as his most important contributions were made through his publications. He maintained an active correspondence with colleagues, and was ever helpful with advice, and in lengthy discussions of matters concerning Caddisflies. Visitors were made most welcome. In his publications, he expressed respect and admiration for others, naming 17 species oiStactobia (1959b), and 43 of Psychomyia (1997) en bloc after friends and colleagues. Although, as a student, he evinced interest in aquatic Diptera, He was amazingly productive, working on Caddisflies till his and Plecoptera, it is clear that his first love was Trichoptera. His early strength failed. In 111 papers on Trichoptera, he erected four subfamilies, investigations involved describing new species from Switzerland, Spain, four tribes, 72 genera, 12 subgenera, and described 1,424 species and 18 and the Neotropics, and reviewing Navâs' Trichoptera collection. His subspecies. The Caddisfly diversity which he revealed in the Indian fauna doctoral thesis, published as Contributions a I'etude des Limnophilidae is truly staggering. He currently holds the record for new species of (Trichoptera) (1955b), presented a thorough revision and reclassification Trichoptera described by one person (J. C. Morse, pers. com).

However, this was largely a bringing together of his contribution to Trichopterology stands out as one of the greatest tributes to series of revisions on various subdivisions, in which many new species the wonders of nature. During the Trichoptera Symposium at Clemson he were described. commented, „It is still fascinating after 30 years. The work is endless.

While walking John S. Weaver III and Andrew P. Nimmo through these areas he was fascinated by the fauna and, equally, by reading a recently published book - H. H. Ross' Evolution & Classification of the PUBLICATIONS Mountain Caddisflies. His monograph on the genus Rhyacophila was a direct outcome of this combination of circumstances. SCHMID, F.

    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.

A total of 49 specimens collected in China were employed in the molecular analyses. The two markers were congruent on species boundaries for 11 distinctive haplogroups, while D2 failed in differentiating two closely related species. A brief summary for larval studies of both genera is given, followed by an introduction to the generic morphological characteristics, and detailed morphological descriptions and illustrations for the two successfully associated species. The larva of P. chinensis is re-described here based on Chinese materials, following the previous larval description for P. echigoensis, which was recently synonymized with P. chinensis. Key words: caddisfly, life-stage association, China, DNA barcoding, COI, 28S D2 Introduction Molecular taxonomy uses nucleotide sequences to facilitate species delineation and identification.

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.

(Hydropsychidae) and Drepanocentron dentatum n. sp. (Xiphocentronidae). Adult Drepanocentron dentatum n. sp. is distinguishable by the toothy dorsal margin of the male inferior appendages; the most similar species, D. vercaius, has teeth on the ventral, but not the dorsal margins of the inferior appendages.

Cartwright and John C. Dean Biology Laboratory, Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works, Melbourne. Summary A key is provided to Victorian genera of free-living and retreat-making Trichoptcra larvae of the families Philopotamidae, Polycentropodidae, Hydrobiosidae, Ecnomidae and Hydropsychidae. Twenty- eight genera are included, although some remain unidentified while the status of several others is uncer- tain.

  • Aquatic Insects and Their Potential to Contribute to the Diet of the Globally Expanding Human Population
    insects Review Aquatic Insects and their Potential to Contribute to the Diet of the Globally Expanding Human Population D. Dudley Williams 1,* and Siân S. Williams 2 1 Department of Biological Sciences, University of Toronto Scarborough, 1265 Military Trail, Toronto, ON M1C1A4, Canada 2 The Wildlife Trust, The Manor House, Broad Street, Great Cambourne, Cambridge CB23 6DH, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Academic Editors: Kerry Wilkinson and Heather Bray Received: 28 April 2017; Accepted: 19 July 2017; Published: 21 July 2017 Abstract: Of the 30 extant orders of true insect, 12 are considered to be aquatic, or semiaquatic, in either some or all of their life stages. Out of these, six orders contain species engaged in entomophagy, but very few are being harvested effectively, leading to over-exploitation and local extinction. Examples of existing practices are given, ranging from the extremes of including insects (e.g., dipterans) in the dietary cores of many indigenous peoples to consumption of selected insects, by a wealthy few, as novelty food (e.g., caddisflies). The comparative nutritional worth of aquatic insects to the human diet and to domestic animal feed is examined. Questions are raised as to whether natural populations of aquatic insects can yield sufficient biomass to be of practicable and sustained use, whether some species can be brought into high-yield cultivation, and what are the requirements and limitations involved in achieving this? Keywords: aquatic insects; entomophagy; human diet; animal feed; life histories; environmental requirements 1. Introduction Entomophagy (from the Greek ‘entoma’, meaning ‘insects’ and ‘phagein’, meaning ‘to eat’) is a trait that we Homo sapiens have inherited from our early hominid ancestors.
