Abstract
In addition to the six species of Xiphocentron Brauer, 1870 currently recorded in Brazil, two new species of X. (Antillotrichia) are described and illustrated in this work: X. (Antillotrichia) acqualume n. sp. and X. (Antillotrichia) jaguare n. sp. Caddisflies in the genus Xiphocentron usually present diurnal activity and are not readily attracted to lights. However, all species included here were collected using light traps during nighttime. The new species can be easily distinguished by having a small cell enclosing the nigma on the forewing. The specimens were collected in the Parque Nacional da Serra da Canastra, a significant mountain range located in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:3DBCFECD-7CBD-4A80-9A3C-9C2FCD8FCEA1
期刊介绍:
Tropical Zoology is an international zoological journal publishing original papers in the field of systematics, biogeography, phylogeny, ecology and conservation of all terrestrial and aquatic animal Phyla from tropical and subtropical areas.
Only papers with new information, high quality and broad interest are considered. Single species description and checklists are not normally accepted. Review papers are welcome. The journal is owned by the Istituto di Ricerca sugli Ecosistemi Terrestri of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Florence, Italy (CNR-IRET) who performs research into the structure and functioning of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, focusing in particular on anthropogenic pressure and global change. The knowledge amassed forms the scientific basis for identifying the most appropriate protective and corrective interventions, and provides support for the bodies entrusted with formulating policies for environmental protection and recovery.
