Immature stages of many Brazilian Smicridea species remains unknown, and efforts to describe all life are required. In this paper, the larva pupa (Rhyacophylax) gladiator Flint 1978, associated with adults through metamorphotype method, described illustrated. addition, known distribution is extended in Amazon Basin new records from Amazonas state first record Pará state. Information about its bionomics also provided.
The worldwide caddisfly family Calamoceratidae comprises about 175 extant species in eight genera (Holzenthal et al. 2007). Among these, two are exclusively recorded from the Neotropics: Banyallarga Navás with 18 described (Prather 2004) and Phylloicus Müller 57 2003, Dumas & Nessimian 2010, Santos Quinteiro 2011), both recently reviewed by Prather (2003, 2004).
Macrostemum is the second largest genus of Macronematinae with about 104 described species distributed in Neotropical (18), Afrotropical (20), Australasian (7), Palearctic (2), Nearctic (3) and Oriental (54) regions. Despite its great diversity, knowledge immature stages scarce: worldwide, only 7 (6.7%) have larvae and/or pupae described. From Neotropics, one species, ulmeri (Banks, 1913), has pupae. The objectives this study are to describe illustrate a new araca sp. nov., based on adult...
The long-horned caddisfly genus Triplectides Kolenati, 1859 is the most species-rich within Triplectidinae, comprising about 90 species. Eight species have been recorded so far in Brazil, mainly distributed Southeast Region, and only one has from North Region. In this paper a new of described illustrated, nessimiani Desidério & Pes sp. nov., based on adult males Serra do Aracá, Amazonas, Brazil. We also provide first record for Brazil T. neblinus Holzenthal, 1988 nevadus 1988. addition,...
The Smicridea (Smicridea) fasciatella species group occurs from the southwestern USA, throughout Central America, Greater Antilles islands, and most of South except for Chilean subregion. It is characterized by phallic apparatus being a simple tube with eversible internal sclerites at apex. composed 61 species, which only 11 occur in Brazil, mainly Atlantic Forest biome southeastern region. In order to reduce Linnean Wallacean shortfalls Brazilian fauna, we diagnose, describe, illustrate...
Some regions, such as the Northeast Region of Brazil, are still severely understudied and trichopteran fauna this region is not entirely known, mainly in areas from Cerrado Caatinga biomes. Currently, 25 species have been reported Piauí State, but most these records concentrated one locality. This study aimed to update knowledge Trichoptera diversity state, including description a new geographic for Brazil. The samples were collected seven municipalities, using various traps. Specimens also...
Smicridea (Rhyacophylax) Müller 1879 contains 106 species, 41 of which occur in Brazil, mainly the Atlantic Forest biome. Despite its diversity, it is estimated that many undescribed species are believed to be housed scientific collections, waiting described. specimens two Brazilian insect collections (Coleção Entomológica Professor José Alfredo Pinheiro Dutra, Rio de Janeiro and Museu Zoologia da Universidade São Paulo, Paulo) were examined new S. detected. The objective this study describe...
Ochrotrichia Mosely is the most species-rich group of microcaddisflies in Neotropical Region. However, knowledge about this genus Brazil still limited; only 11 species are known, distributed Atlantic Forest (9), Caatinga (3), and Amazon (1) biomes. In paper, three new described illustrated based on adult males collected Ducke Reserve, a protected area administered by Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia (INPA), located central Amazonia, Brazil. belodes sp. nov., O. buenosoria nov....
ABSTRACT Schizonyxhelea zoologica Huerta & Grogan, 2017, previously known from North America (Mexico), is reported for the first time in South (Brazil). Additionally, female of this species described and illustrated time. The females were collected association with males a preserved forest an urban fragment, located Amazonas State, Brazil. fifth genus recorded Brazil, documented Amazonas. Finally, brief commentary on environment which specimens found, as well their biogeographical...
The microcaddisfly Neotropical genus Metrichia Ross, is recorded for the first time from state of Tocantins, northern Brazil, through discovery two species: elongata sp. nov. and vulgaris Santos, Takiya & Nessimian 2016. Herein, new species described illustrated based on males collected in a protected preserved area Cerrado biome Tocantins. can be recognized mainly by type position setae inferior appendages morphology dorsolateral hook. these increases number Brazilian seven to eight are...
In order to improve knowledge of Trichoptera diversity in Northeast Region, Brazil, we present here the first checklist caddisflies from Maranhão State with a description new species and geographical records for Region all Brazil. Collections were made 16 sites distributed three municipalities State. A total 54 species, 26 genera 10 families recorded, including one Leptoceridae, Triplectides maranhensis sp. nov., which is described illustrated. All listed are recorded time state, 23 as well...
Helicopsyche von Siebold, 1856 is divided into six subgenera, of which two occur in Brazil: H. (Cochliopsyche) with nine spp. and (Feropsyche) 25 Although the latter subgenus most species-rich country, only three species are known from Brazilian Amazon. In this study, we describe illustrate new for Central Amazonia, johansoni sp. nov. manaos based on morphology adult males. addition, a map distribution Amazon provided.
The microcaddisfly genus Metrichia Ross is the second most species-rich within Ochrotrichiinae, comprising 141 species distributed mainly in Central America. Recently, a large number of have been described for Brazilian fauna; however, these only are known from Atlantic Forest, Caatinga, and Cerrado biomes. Aiming to fill gaps, three new illustrated based on males collected protected preserved areas Amazonia: Floresta Nacional do Tapajós, Parque Serra Divisor da Mocidade. divisor sp. nov.,...
Sixteen species of the microcaddisfly Ochrotrichia Mosely, 1934 (Hydroptilidae) have been recorded so far in Brazil, mainly distributed Atlantic Forest southeastern Brazil. In order to reduce Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls for Brazilian fauna, we diagnose, describe, illustrate three new based on adult males from protected preserved areas Cerrado biome Federal District (Central-West region), Minas Gerais (Southeast region) Tocantins (North states; all them named honor great entomologists...
This paper provided a list of all new Brazilian Hexapoda species described in 2020. Furthermore, based on the information extracted by this list, we tackled additional questions regarding taxa, specialists involved descriptions as well journals which those papers have been published. We recorded total 680 2020, classified 245 genera, 112 families and 18 orders. These were published 2019 articles comprising 423 different authors residing 27 countries.
