Abstract Ochlerotatus detritus (Haliday, 1833) from Parkgate marshes, Wirral, UK are shown to be parasitised by a new species of Amblyospora (Hazard and Oldacre, 1975) microsporidian. Phylogenetic analysis shows that Internal Transcribed Spacer sequences from this microsporidian are distinct from those of all known microsporidia identified to date, but form a clade with Amblyospora weiseri Lukeš and Vávra, 1990 and A. stictici Andreadis, 1994, microsporidia identified from Ochlerotatus cantans Meigen, 1818 and O. sticticus Meigen, 1838, respectively. Prevalence rates, from pooled samples (N = 5 per pool) were low (2.37%; lower limit 0.78%, upper limit 5.62%), which may be a consequence of these ephemeral brackish water pool habitats periodically drying out. There is increasing interest in the use of microsporidian parasites as novel vector control strategies and understanding the phenology of this microsporidian and its mosquito host may ultimately lead to new methods of control for this nuisance biting species.

Abstract The larval stage of Neolimnochares johnstoni Smith and Cook, 2005 is first described in detail, and the larva of a similar undescribed species, Neolimnochares sp. B, see Table 1, is recorded from Peru. Larvae attributed to Limnochares (Cyclothrix) australica Lundblad, 1941a by Martin and Smit (2002) are considered to belong to Neolimnochares Lundblad, 1941c. Neolimnocharinae subfam. n. is proposed and discussed. For larvae assigned to this subfamily, parasitic on veliid water bugs (Rhagovelia Mayr, 1865) and with extraordinary morphological modifications, new taxa are proposed: Veliacola gen. n., (V. mirificus sp. n., Madagascar); Archaeveliacola gen. n. (A. papuanus sp. n., Indonesia, A. smiti sp. n., Australia); Armaveliacola gen. n. (A. rhagoveliae sp. n., Madagascar, A. major sp. n., Madagascar, A. minor sp. n., Cameroon, Kenya); Isoveliacola gen. n. (I. costaricensis sp. n., Costa Rica, I. borneoensis sp. n., Indonesia). Additional records are: Veliacola sp. (Dominican Republic), Archaeveliacola sp. (Bolivia), and Isoveliacola sp. (Belize). Neolimnochares (Paracyclothrix) Lundblad, 1967 is synonymised with Limnochares (Cyclothrix) Wolcott, 1905, resulting in Limnochares (Cyclothrix) hyaliniseta (Lundblad, 1969) comb. n., and L.

Abstract To understand the life history strategies of diving beetles, it is important to obtain information regarding their flight capacities. We estimated the flight capacities of three dytiscid species in Japan using a flight mill. The mean flight distances of Hydaticus bowringii Clark, 1864, Hydaticus grammicus (Germar, 1827), and Rhantus suturalis (MacLeay, 1825) were 5.16, 1.97, and 0.58 km, respectively. Some individuals flew extremely long distances: 20.01 km in H. bowringii and 12.58 km in H. grammicus. The two representatives of the genus Hydaticus Leach, 1817 overwinter on land, far from water bodies or in the mud near emergent plants on the shore of water bodies; R. suturalis uses various water bodies throughout the year. The differences in overwintering sites may be reflected in the species’ flight capacities.

Abstract In 2014–2019, we carried out an examination of Trichoptera of the Moulouya River basin in the Oriental, Fèz-Meknès and Drâa-Tafilalet regions of Morocco. Caddisflies of the territories of the High Plateau, the oriental Sahara and the eastern parts of the Rif, Middle Atlas and the High Atlas have been studied for the first time. We collected and identified 41 species. Rhyacophila sp. cf. intermedia/rougemonti McLachlan, 1868/McLachlan, 1880 (Rhyacophilidae); Hydropsyche sp. cf. exocellata Duföur, 1841 (Hydropsychidae) and Mesophylax aspersus hoggarensis Malicky, 1998 (Limnephlidae) are reported for the first time from Morocco. 21 species are recorded for the first time from Oriental Region and 13 species from Drâa-Tafilalet Region. For previously recorded species, we present additional distributional data. Additionally, we provide taxonomic notes on larvae of Athripsodes sp., Rhyacophila sp. and Mesophylax sp. cf. impunctatus McLachlan, 1884. We found a clear dominance of the Palearctic elements, typically Mediterranean, and a high rate of Ibero‐Maghrebian endemics in the Trichoptera fauna of northeastern Morocco. This chorotype pattern is similar to patterns observed for other aquatic insects in the same study area.

Abstract This study examined the flight activity of adult caddisflies (order Trichoptera) in a pine-oak forest in México. Specimens were collected near the locality of Puente de los Trabajos, Sierra de Juárez, Oaxaca State using blacklight traps during four nights between 28 October and 13 November 2015. A total of 1117 specimens were collected, belonging to 10 families, 18 genera, and 28 species. Limnephilus tulatus Denning, 1962, Polycentropus casicus Denning and Sykora, 1966 and the genus Mayatrichia Mosely, 1937 are recorded for the first time from Oaxaca State. Activity and species diversity peaked between 18:00 and 19:30 h. More than 90% of all species observed had been recorded by 00:30 h, and 100% by 05:30 h. Abundance and species richness were significantly correlated with temperature and relative humidity. We found that the seasonal activity of Ochrotrichia yavesia Bueno-Soria and Holzenthal, 2004, increases in late October. Environmental variables as precipitation, wind speed and direction should also be considered, and additional sampling in different seasons of the year in other localities with different environmental conditions is also recommended.

Abstract Rhabdiopteryx thienemanni Illies, 1957 is a stonefly species distributed across southern France and the Iberian Peninsula. The male drumming call of this species had been so far known only from a Spanish population, but the complete duet is unknown. In the present paper, complete three-way signal is described for the first time in details from a French population. The male call does not differ from the pattern presented by the Spanish population. Records of female answers are composed of a large repetition of knocks but interknock intervals are almost constant in the first two thirds of the signal and increasing progressively in the last part. The male reply is also composed of approximately constant interknock intervals that become variable (increasing) in the last part of the signal. The male reply mimics the female answer. The signal of R. thienemanni is compared with other Rhabdiopteryx species.

Abstract We developed an index of vulnerability for odonates (IVO) that occurred predominantly in Mexico to assess land use change. Vulnerability was defined as a function of A) habits of the species and B) ecological niche models. Index validation was done by relating it to rate of vegetation cover change, with the habitat preferences of each species and with species’ sensitivity to habitat deterioration. Thus, the most sensitive species would be found in areas with no change in land use. IVO values ranged from a maximum of three (i.e., the most sensitive) to a minimum of one (i.e., the least sensitive). As it was demonstrated in other studies, odonates did not show a clear preference between conserved and perturbed land uses. Interestingly, the few sensitive species were clearly resilient and can be found in a wide range of land use types, thus they may be more generalist than previously thought.

Abstract The presence of Aphelocheirus aestivalis (Fabricius, 1794) (Hemiptera: Aphelocheiridae) in the Iberian Peninsula has been on the spot in the last decades. New records collected in northern inner plateau (Riaza River, Duero Basin) provide new insights about the presence of this species in the Iberian Peninsula. Morphological and molecular analyses confirmed the presence of A. aestivalis. Moreover, male and female genital structures and habitus illustrations are provided. As a whole, our results highlight the complex scenario of Aphelocheirus species in the Iberian Peninsula, involving three currently valid species (two of them very similar based on morphological studies) plus a cryptic undescribed lineage.

Abstract We discovered a new species of the genus Hydaticus Leach, 1817, subgenus Prodaticus Sharp, 1882 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) in the unidentified material of the Muséum National d´Histoire Naturelle, Paris. The type specimens were collected near Kourou in French Guiana and are here described as Hydaticus (Prodaticus) kourouensis sp. n. The new species is morphologically similar to the Peruvian H. panguana Megna, Balke, Apenborn, and Hendrich, 2019 and H. hauthi Hendrich and Balke, 2020, but differs by its almost complete black ventral surface, the broadly oval habitus, and the flattened, slightly enlarged elytra. Furthermore, H. kourouensis sp. n. is well characterised by the shape of its median lobe. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E0841C37-DB18-45E3-80B8-2981E63CCCA2
