  • Description of a New Species of Wormaldia (Trichoptera, Philopota- Midae) from Italy
    113 Lauterbornia 84: 113-116, D-86424 Dinkelscherben, 2017-12-15 Description of a new species of Wormaldia (Trichoptera, Philopota- midae) from Italy Peter J. Neu With 1 figure Keywords: Wormaldia, Trichoptera, Insecta, Apennines, Italy, morphology, taxonomy, first description Schlagwörter: Wormaldia, Trichoptera, Insecta, Apenninen, Italien, Morphologie, Taxonomie, Erstbeschreibung A new species of the Genus Wormaldia (Trichoptera, Philopotamidae) is described. Wormaldia cianficconiae sp. n. is an endemic of the Abruzzo Apennines in central Italy. It differs significantly from other related spe- cies, especially through the shape of segment X and the characteristic spines on the aedeagus. 1 Introduction The Mediterranean area is a flora and fauna biodiversity hot-spot with a high number of in- vertebrate endemics (Vitecek et al. 2015). In Europe, there are currently 54 known species in the genus Wormaldia. Most are widely distributed but several apparently highly endemic species have also been described (Graf et al. 2008, Martínez-Menéndez and González 2011, Vitecek et al. 2015). Aquatic stages of the genus, with few exceptions, prefer crenal and rhithral sections of alpine to low- land streams. The larvae are caseless and behave as passive filter feeders using characteristic nets (Graf et al. 2008). Species in the genus exhibit characteristic male genitalia but also comparatively high variability, particularly of the phallic structures (Malicky 2004, Martínez-Menéndez and González 2011, Neu 2015), resulting in the description of several subspecies. In this paper, a new species of Wormaldia is described. 2 Material and methods As part of my research on Wormaldia occipitalis Pictet, 1834, Dr Omar Lodovici sent me 51 samples of Wormaldia from the collections of the Museo di Scienze Naturali di Bergamo.

E-mail: [email protected]; Phone number: +30 22910 76391; Fax: +30 22910 76419 Abstract The larva of Philopotamus achemenus is described for the first time. The diagnostic features of the species are described and illustrated and some information regarding its ecology and world distribution is included. Furthermore, its morpho- logical characters are compared and contrasted in an identification key for larvae of the Greek species of Philopotamus. Key words: Caddisfly, taxonomy, identification, larva, distribution Introduction The family Philopotamidae in Greece is represented by the genera Chimarra Stephens 1829, Philopotamus Stephens 1829, and Wormaldia McLachlan 1865. The genus Philopotamus in Greece is represented by 3 species (Malicky 1993, 2005): P. montanus (Donovan 1813), P. variegatus (Scopoli 1763) and P. achemenus Schmid 1959. Philopotamus montanus is commonly distributed throughout Europe, extending to northwestern Russia (Malicky 1974, 2004; Pitsch 1987), while P. variegatus is widely distributed in central and southern Europe and the Anatolian Peninsula (Gonzalez et al. 1992; Sipahiler & Malicky 1987; Sipahiler 2012). Both species can be found in Greek mountainous running waters and their distribution extends throughout the country, including several islands (i.e., Euboea, Crete, Samos; Malicky 2005).

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.

The origin and evolution of such a remarkable biodiversity are likely to be associated with geological or climatic dynamics, as well as taxon-specific biotic processes (e.g., hybridization, polyploidization, etc.). Here, we investigate the mechanisms fostering the diversification of the endemic Himalopsyche martynovi complex, a poorly known group of aquatic insects. Methods: We used multiple allelic datasets generated from 691 AHE loci to reconstruct species and RaxML phylogenetic trees. We selected the most reliable phylogenetic tree to perform network and gene flow analyses.

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.

  • Emergence Trap Collections of Lotic Trichoptera in the Cascade Range of Oregon, U.S.A
    13 EMERGENCE TRAP COLLECTIONS OF LOTIC TRICHOPTERA IN THE CASCADE RANGE OF OREGON, U.S.A. N. H. ANDERSON, R. W. WISSEMAN AND G. W. COURTNEY SUMMARY Emergence of caddisflies in three 3rd-order streams was monitored in 1982-83 using four traps, (each 3.34 m 2 ) per stream. Traps were placed over both riffle and depositional areas. A range of habitats was sampled because sites extended from 490 to 880 m in elevation and included areas with old-growth coniferous canopy, regrowth deciduous canopy and clearcut with no canopy. Although trapping efforts censused only limited reaches within each stream system, 65% of all caddis species known from the drainage were obtained. More than 5200 specimens were collected. Rhyacophilidae (23 species) and Limnephilidae (14 species) were the most diverse families, but Lepidostomatidae accounted for 46% of the individuals, followed by Philopotamidae (14%), and Rhyacophilidae (13%). When partitioned into functional feeding groups, scrapers were the most diverse group; whereas collectors were poorly represented. INTRODUCTION This project is part of a comprehensive study of the impact of riparian vegetation on the structure and function of stream ecosystems in the Western Coniferous Forest Biome. Emergence trap collections of aquatic insects are being used as an index of secondary production to compare the biota of streams flowing through old-growth coniferous forest, a recent clearcut, and a regrowth deciduous forest. We present data for one flight season (1982-83) on species composition, abundance, functional feeding groups and seasonal occurrence of caddisflies. In a subsequent paper, we will analyze differences among sites for the entire insect community.

ZooKeys 780: 89–108. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.780.26977 Abstract A new genus and species of Philopotamidae (Philopotaminae), Aymaradella boliviana, is described from the Bolivian Andes of South America. The new genus differs from other Philopotaminae by the loss of 2A vein in the hind wing and, in the male genitalia, the synscleritous tergum and sternum of seg- ment VIII, and the elongate sclerotized dorsal processes of segment VIII. The first record ofHydrobiosella (Philopotaminae) in the New World is also provided with a new species from the Andes of Ecuador, Hydrobiosella andina.
