Caddisflies
The caddisflies, or order Trichoptera, are a group of insects with aquatic larvae and terrestrial adults. There are approximately 14,500 described species, most of which can be divided into the suborders Integripalpia and Annulipalpia on the basis of the adult mouthparts. Integripalpian larvae construct a portable casing to protect themselves as they move around looking for food, while Annulipalpian larvae make themselves a fixed retreat in which they remain, waiting for food to come to them. The affinities of the small third suborder Spicipalpia are unclear, and molecular analysis suggests it may not be monophyletic. Also called sedge-flies or rail-flies, the adults are small moth-like insects with two pairs of hairy membranous wings. They are closely related to the Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) which have scales on their wings; the two orders together form the superorder Amphiesmenoptera. The aquatic larvae are found in a wide variety of habitats such as streams, river ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Arctopsychidae
The Arctopsychidae are a family of net-spinning caddisflies. The family was described by Robert McLachlan in 1868. Larvae tend to live in clear, cold streams with stony bottoms. The larvae are often filter feeders, and will spin aquatic nets between stones to catch food particles. Adults will then emerge from the water to fly between late May and mid August. Distribution is Holarctic and Oriental The Orient is a term for the East in relation to Europe, traditionally comprising anything belonging to the Eastern world. It is the antonym of ''Occident'', the Western World. In English, it is largely a metonym for, and coterminous with, the ....

Dipseudopsidae
Dipseudopsidae is a family of caddisflies in the order Trichoptera. There are about 6 genera and at least 110 described species in Dipseudopsidae. The type genus for Dipseudopsidae is '' Dipseudopsis'' F. Walker, 1852. The oldest fossils are of the extant genus '' Phylocentropus'', from the Barremian aged Lebanese amber. Genera These six genera belong to the family Dipseudopsidae: * '' Dipseudopsis'' Walker, 1852 * '' Hyalopsyche'' Ulmer, 1904 * '' Hyalopsychella'' Ulmer, 1930 * '' Limnoecetis'' Marlier, 1955 * '' Phylocentropus'' Banks, 1907 * '' Protodipseudopsis'' Ulmer, 1909 *†'' Taymyrodipseudon'' Ivanov and Melnitsky 2017 Taimyr amber, Russia, Santonian The Santonian is an age in the geologic timescale or a chronostratigraphic stage.

Ecnomidae
The Ecnomidae are a family of caddisflies comprising 9 genera with a total of 375 species. Distribution The Ecinomidae have a Gondwanan distribution, except one genus, which also is present in Oriental and Palearctic regions. Morphology The adult is a mostly small to medium-sized caddisfly with a wingspan of , with dull grayish-brown mottled wings. Ocelli are absent. The maxillary palp is five-segmented. The apical segment is flexible. The antennae are, at most, as long as the forewing. Forewing R1 is usually forked at the apex; the discoidal and median cells present and closed. The female abdomen terminates either flat out or with an elongated ovipositor. The larva is small to medium-sized long. The head and all thoracic nota are sclerotised. The prolegs on the abdomen are highly formed with large anal claws terminal. Behavior and ecology The Ecnomidae larval stage, like most trichoptera larvae, is spent completely in fresh water. They are predatory, but some genera feed a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hydropsychidae
The Hydropsychidae are a family-level taxon consisting of net-spinning caddisflies. Hydropsychids are common among much of the world's streams, and a few species occupy the shorelines of freshwater lakes. Larvae of the hydropsychids construct nets at the open ends of their dwellings which are responsible for their "net-spinning caddisfly" common name. Larvae The hydropsychid larval stage, like most Trichoptera larvae, is spent entirely in fresh water. They construct dwellings known as "retreats", which are fixed to the sides of rocks. These retreats are typically composed of collected plant and mineral fragments. At the large open end of their retreats, hydropsychids spin a net or sieve made of fine silk, similar to the silk produced by the larval form of the Lepidoptera (caterpillars), one of their close relatives. These nets catch algae, detritus, and smaller invertebrates. Different genera spin nets of different mesh sizes and shapes depending on what food type they are ...

Polycentropodidae
The Polycentropodidae are a family of trumpet-net and tube-making caddisflies. There are at least 30 genera and 720 described species in Polycentropodidae. The type genus for Polycentropodidae is '' Polycentropus'' J. Curtis, 1835. The larvae of this family construct complex silken tubes in which to live. These are short and flattened, and built in hollows in rocks or other submerged objects. They are surrounded by silken threads stretched across nearby surfaces. The larvae are carnivorous, remaining in the retreat until alerted by a small animal encountering a thread, and then rushing out to attack the prey. Members of the genus '' Polycentropus'' make slender, tubular structures among the tangled stems of aquatic plants, being alerted to the presence of prey that encounters the associated silken threads among the plants. Genera These 33 genera belong to the family Polycentropodidae: * '' Adectophylax'' Neboiss, 1982 * '' Antillopsyche'' Banks, 1941 * '' Archaeoneureclipsis ...

Psychomyiidae
The Psychomyiidae are a family of tube-making caddisflies. Members of this family are typically very similar to polycentropodids, most of them can be differentiated by the spur formula is 2-4-4, thyridial cell short, absence of the forewing fork I, and hindwing forks I and IV (except in ''Eoneureclipsis''). Male genitalia has elongate preanal appendages, and reduced tergum IX. The larvae differ by the submental sclerites separated, foretrochantin broad, and the pupal mandible apex whip-like. Larvae construct long silken galleries. The type genus for Psychomyiidae is '' Psychomyia'' P.A. Latreille, 1829. Psychomyiella Ulmer, 1908 is considered a junior synonym of Psychomyiia. Phylogenetic analysis of Johanson & Espeland (2010) found the genus '' Zelandoptila'' Tillyard, 1924 placed within the family Ecnomidae although the genus was previously placed in Psychomyiidae.
