Three New Species Of Phylocentropus Banks (Trichoptera: Dipseudopsidae) From Vietnam, Tatiana I. Arefina-Armitage, Brian J. Armitage
Insecta Mundi
Of the 9 known species of Phylocentropus Banks (Trichoptera: Dipseudopsidae), 5 are found in eastern North America, 1 in Japan, and 3 in Southeast Asia. Three new species of this genus: Ph. tohoku, Ph. ngoclinh, and Ph. anas from Vietnam are described and illustrated herein. Previously, only 1 species, Ph. vietnamellus Mey 1995, was known from this country.
Three New Species Of Goera Stephens (Trichoptera: Goeridae) From Sulawesi, Indonesia, Brian J. Armitage, Tatiana I. Arefina-Armitage
Three New Species Of Goera Stephens (Trichoptera: Goeridae) From Sulawesi, Indonesia, Brian J. Armitage, Tatiana I. Arefina-Armitage
Insecta Mundi
Three new species of the caddisfly genus Goera Stephens (Trichoptera: Goeridae) are described from the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. Goera neboissi sp. n., G. jolanda sp. n., and G. higleri sp. n. were found to be related to G. skiasma Neboiss, which is the only previously recorded species from Sulawesi. These species share the following combination of characters: an upright IXth segment; the absence of the median dorsal process of tergum X; a long, mesal process of the inferior appendage with a subbasal projection; and, the absence of parameres.
Larval Taxonomy, Phylogeny And Historical Biogeography Of The Genus Cheumatopsyche (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae) In North America, Zachary Burington
Larval Taxonomy, Phylogeny And Historical Biogeography Of The Genus Cheumatopsyche (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae) In North America, Zachary Burington
All Theses
Larvae of the genus Cheumatopsyche (Trichoptera:Hydropsychidae) are a
abundant and probably significant ecological component of freshwater lotic ecosystems
worldwide, with many species inhabiting streams with elevated organic pollution. The
varying tolerance levels among these species necessitate species-level identification for
accurate water-quality assessment. However, past workers have had difficulty separating
the Nearctic species in the larval stage. This research presents progress on the goal
towards identification of larval Cheumatopsyche. Chaetotaxal and cuticular characters are delimited for 7 larval morphotypes, all of which have been putatively associated with
adults. The Nearctic phylogeny of Cheumatopsyche is revised, including 5 species
described after 1987. …
