  • Species Fact Sheet for Homoplectra Schuhi
    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.

Nat. Croat., Vol. 26, No. 2., 197-204, Zagreb, 2017. We collected adult caddisfly specimens with entomological nets and ultraviolet light traps monthly from May to November 2012 in Brezne Lake situated in Dragash Municipality. During this investigation we found the Leptocerid species Triaenodes bicolor for the first time in Kosovo; it is also the first record for Ecoregion 6, Hellenic Western Balkans. Additionally, this is the first record of the genus Triaenodes from Kosovo. In total seven males and three females of this species were found. Triaenodes bicolor is present all over the European continent but has been rarely sampled in southeastern Europe. Other taxa sympatric with Triaenodes bicolor in the investigated locality are: Hydropsyche instabilis, Hydropsyche spp., Plectrocnemia conspersa, Plectrocnemia spp., Micropterna nycterobia, Micropterna sequax, Limnephilus vittatus, Limnephilus auricula and Thremma anomalum.

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.

  • Macroinvertebrate Inventory of the Caspar Creek Watershed
    FINAL REPORT: Macroinvertebrate Inventory of the Caspar Creek Watershed Kenneth W. Cummins1 and David Malkauskas2 1. California Cooperative Fisheries Research Unit, Humboldt State University 2. Department of Entomology, Michigan State University 1 Introduction A macroinvertebrate assessment was conducted on the Caspar Creek Experimental Watershed in northwestern California using a functional feeding group (FFG) classification. The approach, developed over 30 years ago (Cummins 1973), has been tested, modified, and employed in many studies (e.g. Cummins and Klug 1979, Cummins and Wilzbach 1985), Merritt and Cummins 2006). The approach categorizes macroinvertebrates based on their morphological and behavioral mechanisms by which they acquire one or more of six general food types: coarse particulate organic matter (CPOM), fine particulate organic matter (FPOM), periphytic, non-filamentous algae and associated bio-film, invertebrate prey organisms, and filamentous algae (Table 1). The morpho-behavioral adaptations of stream macroinvertebrates for acquiring food are easily observed in the field on live specimens. An example is the large eyes, bright color patterns, and active movement that characterize the three predaceous stonefly families (setipalpian Plecoptera). The abundance (especially expressed as biomass) of any FFG is an indicator of the relative availability of its food resource category. The method has the advantage that the survey crew leaves the field with the data as well as with preserved samples that can be analyzed in taxonomic data, and measured for biomass conversion calculations in the lab, if (and this is almost always the problem) funds are available for the very time-consuming process of microscope analysis. The point is, that a great deal of information about the status of a stream ecosystem can be obtained in the field using the FFG approach, but it does not for close the ability to analyze the samples in the lab.

Pešić: 20 September 2019 │ Published online 16 October 2019 Abstract Adult caddisflies were collected in the Opojë Region belonging to the Sharr Mountains in Kosovo from May to October 2013. This mountainous area which is known for many endemic and rare species of plants and animals is still not enough explored in terms of caddisfly fauna. A diverse fauna consisting of 11 families and 43 species was found. Three species found during this investigation are first records for the Kosovo caddisfly fauna: Limnephilus lunatus, Micropterna lateralis and Plectrocnemia geniculata. The stenoendemic species Chaetopteroides kosovarorum is found for the second time in Kosovo. Several other rare species were recorded during this investigation. The most interesting finding is species Plectrocnemia geniculata, which is very widespread in Opojë Region and at the same time this represents one of the rarest occurrences of this species in the Balkans. This study contributes to the knowledge of the caddisfly fauna of the Sharr Mountains and adds to the list of known caddisfly species from Kosovo.
