These data allow assessment of the conseravation status of the studied species. This is the first record of the mayfly Caenis pseudorivulorum Keffermüller, 1960 in the Republic of Macedonia.

More than 30 papers and posters were presented and much fruitful discussion occurred. An enjoyable field trip to the Colorado Rockies took place on Sunday, May 19th, and the weather was excellent. Boris was such a good host that it was difficult to leave, but many participants traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico to attend the annual meetings of the North American Benthological Society. Bill Stark gave us a way to remember this meeting by producing a T-shirt with a unique “Spirit Fly” design. ANNOUNCEMENT 11th International Stonefly Symposium Stan Szczytko has planned and organized an excellent symposium that will be held at the Tree Haven Biological Station, University of Wisconsin in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, USA. The registration cost of $300 includes lodging, meals, field trip and a T- Shirt. This is a real bargain so hopefully many colleagues and friends will come and participate in the symposium August 17-20, 1992. Stan has promised good weather and good friends even though he will not guarantee that stonefly adults will be collected during the field trip. Printed August 1992 1 OBITUARIES RODNEY L.

Webb Center For Biodiversity Illinois Natural History Survey 607 East Peabody Drive Champaign, Illinois 61820 TECHNICAL REPORT 2002 (11) ILLINOIS NATURAL HISTORY SURVEY CENTER FOR BIODIVERSITY PREPARED FOR Division of Natural Heritage Office of Resource Conservation Illinois Department of Natural Resources One Natural Resources Way Springfield, IL 62702 Abstract During the 1990's, collecting was done along the Rock River in a effort to collect winter stoneflies (those species emerging from December through March). In 1997, collecting was done in and around Rock Island in an effort to collect Alloperla roberti. During April, May, and June of 2002, collecting for spring emerging stoneflies was conducted at nine sites along the Rock River from Rock Island to Rockton. Historically, 25 species of stoneflies (Insecta: Plecoptera) have been reported from the Rock River. Based on collecting from 1990-2002 eleven species (Acroneuria abnormis, Allocapnia granulata,Allocapnia vivipara Isoperla bilineata, Isoperla richardsoni,Perlesta golconda, Perlesta decipiens, Perlinella ephyre, Pteronarcys pictetii, Taeniopteryx burksi, Taeniopteryx nivalis) remain established within the Rock River. Acroneuria abnormis was previously very abundant along the length of the Rock River, but now is considered very rare. Allocapnia vivipara, the most common species of stonefly in Illinois and primarily a small stream species, appears to have been replaced by Allocapnia granulata in the Rock River.

(2007) Arthropod-pathogenic Entomophthorales from Switzerland. III. First additions. ± Sydowia 59 (1): 75±113. Twenty-nine species of arthropod-pathogenic Entomophthorales new to Switzerland are described. Nine are described as new species, namely Batkoa hydrophila from Plecoptera, Conidiobolus caecilius from Psocoptera, Entomophaga antochae from Limoniidae (Diptera), E. thuricensis from Cicadellidae (Homo- ptera), Erynia fluvialis from midges (Diptera), E. tumefacta from Muscidae (Dip- tera), Eryniopsis rhagonidis from Rhagionidae (Diptera), Pandora longissima from Limoniidae (Diptera) and Strongwellsea pratensis from Muscidae (Diptera). Pan- dora americana, P. sciarae, Zoophthora aphrophorae and Z. rhagonycharum are new combinations. Eleven species are first records since the original description. The list of species recorded from Switzerland amounts to 90 species representing 38% of the world-wide known species of arthropod-pathogenic Entomophthorales. Part I of this monograph (Keller 1987) treated the genera Con- idiobolus, Entomophaga [including the species later transferred on to the new genus Batkoa Humber (1989)], and Entomophthora. Part II (Keller 1991) treated the genera Erynia sensu lato (now subdivided into the genera Erynia, Furia and Pandora), Eryniopsis, Neozygites, Zoophthora and Tarichium. So far 51 species including 8new ones have been listed.

    3-79 NYMPHS OF THE STONEFLY (PLECOPTERA) GENUS TAENIOPTERYX OF NORTH AMERICA THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By Kate Matthews Fullington, B.S. Denton, Texas May, 1978 Fullington, Kate M., Nymphs of the Stonefly (Plecop- tera) Genus Taeniopteryx of North America. Master of Science (Biology), May, 1978, 79 pp., 26 illustrations, literature cited, 33 titles. Nymphs of the 9 Nearctic Taeniopteryx species were reared and studied, 1976-78. Two morphologically allied groupings, the Taeniopteryx burksi-maura, and T. lita- lonicera-starki complexes corresponded with adult complexes. A key separating 7 species, based primarily upon pigment patterns and abdominal setal arrangements, was constructed. Taeniopteryx lita and T. starki were indistinguishable; T. burksi was separated from T. maurawhen no developing femoral spur was present. This study was based upon 839 nymphs. Mouthparts were not species-diagnostic. Detailed habitus illustrations were made for 6 species. Egg SEM study revealed that 3 species were 1.2-1.4 mm diameter, with a highly sculptured chorion, generally re- sembling a Maclura fruit; micropyle were scattered. Taeniopteryx lita, lonicera, starki and ugola nymphs were described for the first time. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS. ...... iv Chapter I. INTRODUCTION... .o..... .. 1 II.

The life cycle is annual, with slow growth in autumn-winter and fast growth in late summer and spring. The growth decreased two weeks before the Fall Equinox and increased two weeks after the Spring Equinox. The flight period spans from the end of May to the beginning of July. The presence of large sand particles in the gut of all studied nymphs is of note, and indicates that I. serricornis acts as a deposit- collector species. Nymphal food is principally composed of detritus, unicellular organisms and, in nymphs of intermediate or large size, Chironomidae larvae. Adult food is composed fundamentally of different types of pollen grains. Males usually have lower food content than females. Annual produc- tion of this species (~694–750 mg · m–2) is very high in relation to other previously studied Chloro- perlidae. This is probably largely responsible for I.
