About 5,000 species in 20 families are known for the order. The oldest unequivocal moth, Archeolepis mane, dates to the Lower Jurassic. Another especially well-represented group of fossil moths is made up of the tineoids, which are richly represented in Dominican amber deposits that date from 15 to 40 mya. The effect of climate change and other human impacts on the diversity and distribution of caddisflies is discussed. Phylum Arthropoda Characteristics. University of Toronto Press. Minute wing or wingless insects. At the other extreme, discharge may cease completely during droughts with equally significant effects. Characteristics Mayflies are small to medium sized insects with an average wingspan up to 15 millimetres. Trichoptera seem to have diversified at temperate as well as at tropical latitudes (Ross, 1967), with the Phryganeidae, Stenopsychidae and Limnephilidae occurring mostly in temperate regions, and other taxa (e.g. Trichoptera: caddisflies. Classification is based on traits such as wings and mouthparts. Net-spinning caddisfly larvae (order Trichoptera, family Hydropsychidae). (Exceptions are females in the family Mengenillidae. Angiosperm radiation spans 130â95 mya from the earliest recognized occurrence of pollen to the time when angiosperms became the dominant vegetation. The wings are clothed with setae and held rooflike over the back when the insect is at rest. The oldest unequivocal moth, Archeolepis mane, dates to the Lower Jurassic. Caddisflies are nocturnal as adults and aquatic when immature. (Coleoptera, Wing characteristics) B. hindwings reduced to stabilizers (Diptera, Wing characteristics) C. wings have scales (Lepidoptera, Wing characteristics) D. hairy wings (Trichoptera, Wing characteristics) E. complete metamorphosis (Hymenoptera, Type of Development) F. incomplete metamorphosis (Orthoptera, Type of Development) G. flies Snags often support high densities of filter-feeding caddisflies and filter-feeding Diptera such as larval black flies (Simuliidae; Figure 5). This chapter provides an overview of the geographical, morphological, and ecological diversity of caddisflies. Grant No. Key to the folding mechanism is the third axillary sclerite and pleural wing-folding muscle. The adults have slender brown bodies. In species with long antennae, they are coiled around the end of the abdomen. Introduction. Perhaps then, it is not surprising that the oldest unequivocal noctuid fossils also date to the Eocene. Grant No. Correct answers: 3 question: Analyze the following statements and select those that correctly reflect the characteristics of archaea. Free living larva construct a shelter for pupation, The larva have six well developed legs, and at the end of the abdomen, a pair of prolegs bearing hooks, which distinguish the order. In the Neotropics, about 3262 valid species in 25 families and 155 extant genera have been currently recognized (Holzenthal and Calor, 2017). Such communities are primarily composed of taxa with life-history strategies that enable rapid recolonization. Adult females in this family have very simple eyes, as well as legs.) 3), their presence in the Cretaceous would push back the origin of virtually all lepidopteran higher taxa. Unlike most moths, their eggs, larvae, and pupae are usually found in or very near freshwater, and adults are aerial, usually not far from their aquatic habitats. Glossatans, including a putative lophocoronid, are well substantiated from the Upper Cretaceous. Larva of Lara avara (Coleoptera: Elmidae), a xylophagous (wood feeding) shredder that occurs in headwater streams of northwestern North America. That is, the fundamental clades of Lepidoptera are all represented before the beginning of the Tertiary. The wings of Trichoptera are covered with setae, from which the name of the order is derived (from the Greek “trichos”= hair, and “pteron”= wing). Glossatans, including a putative lophocoronid, are well substantiated from the Upper Cretaceous. Some caddisfly larvae do not make cases but instead spin silken webs, which are used to capture food drifting in the stream. Minor orders include the Odonata, Megaloptera, and Coleoptera. The major factors that determine the presence and abundance of a hyporheic fauna is hydraulic permeability, which controls the rate of water flow and oxygen concentration, and the quantity of organic matter that provides food. The Trichoptera, or Caddisflies, are an order of insects, somewhat related to moths, and of which there are just under 200 species in the British Isles. Figure 4. Characteristics. Timothy Gibb, in Contemporary Insect Diagnostics, 2015. The tracheal system is closed, and is associated with tracheal gills on most abdominal segments. The most fundamental lotic habitats, riffles and pools, are inhabited by distinct insect assemblages. Photo by Alex Huryn. 8.3H), Hydropsychidae, Hydroptilidae, Leptoceridae, Odontoceridae (Fig. The Trichoptera, or Caddisflies, are an order of insects, somewhat related to moths, and of which there are just under 200 species in the British Isles. However, the two groups are now thought to represent different evolutionary lines. Small to medium-sized, diurnal and nocturnal moth-like insects. For example, substratum movement during flash floods in desert streams of the southwestern United States may reduce macroinvertebrate biomass by as much as 98%. The pupa is also aquatic, enclosed in a retreat often made of silk, and possesses functional mandibles to aid in emergence from the sealed case. The first thing you learned about members of the order Diptera is that they all have one pair of wings which allow them to fly. The caddisfly suborders Annulipalpia and Integripalpia (Trichoptera) each have evolved a wing coupling apparatus, with at least three systems having evolved within the suborder Annulipalpia. The larval mouthparts are adapted for chewing; the adult mouthparts are adapted for feeding on liquids. General characteristics: • may be winged or wingless • among those with wings, each wing is a slender and rather feathery affair: a thin rod with a comb of fringe-like hairs on either side (one side may have more fringe than the other). Figure 35. FIGURE 4.29. Figure 3. There are less than a dozen putative lepidopteran fossils from the Triassic, and most of these cannot be assigned to the order with certainty. The adults, with the body and wings covered with fine hairs, are crepuscular and resemble small moths. The compound eyes … Two new Helicopsyche species, the first one from Roraima-tepui and the second one from Auyán-tepui and ChurÃ-tepui, are currently undergoing description. Another well-represented group of fossil moths are the tineoids, which are richly represented in Dominican amber deposits that date from 40 to 15 mya. At rest the wings are held tent-like over the abdomen. 1). Adults can also be found by using a sweep net through suitable vegetation, or by searching structures near water. The AES published the Beginner's Guide to Caddis by Ian Wallace in the February 2003 issue of the Bulletin. There are no fossil records for either the Aglossata or Heterobathmiina. Long, filiform, and many segmented antennae. Hence, although Lepidoptera is the most recently evolved major insect order, its radiation was relatively rapid, paralleling that of the angiosperms, the major lineages having evolved between ca. Among these, two were assigned to Micropterigidae and two to Glossata and Ditrysia, but only one of them, Protolepis, possesses visible mouthpart structures. Because comprehensive reviews by Aubrecht et al. Major orders of lotic insects include the Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera, and Diptera. 35). Physical characteristics:The larvae of this species measure 0.34 to 0.52 inches (8.5 to 13.0 millimeters) in length. The larva is aquatic, has fully developed mouthparts, three pairs of thoracic legs (each with at least five segments), and lacks the ventral prolegs characteristic of lepidopteran larvae. When the larva is ready to pupate, the animal attaches the case to a rock or other fixed object in the water. The Trichoptera include more species than any of the other primarily aquatic orders of insects. The variety of feeding strategies employed by caddisflies is as great as for the highly diverse freshwater Diptera, or true flies. The earliest fossil recognized as lepidopteran is a small-scaled wing from the Lower Jurassic of Dorset, England. Larva of Tipula abdominalis (Diptera: Tipulidae), a widely distributed and common shredder of leaf detritus that occurs in streams throughout much of North America. The antennae are multisegmented and filiform and often as long as the wings. Whereas the fossil record of the Trichoptera, the sister group to the Lepidoptera, is adequate and dates into the Permian, the record for lepidopterans is meager, especially for Mesozoic-aged fossils, when the basal lineages were diversifying. 3). General characteristics: • most adult females are wingless, legless, eyeless, and look much like grubs. Strepsiptera are obligate parasites of insects, with hosts ranging across 7 orders and 34 families. That is actually where their name comes from. Labandeira et al. About 15,000 species are known. Although most of these clearly belong to preglossatan taxa, this is not true of all. Therefore the species identification of larvae (Fig. Although many insect orders are represented among the hyporheos, the larvae of chironomid midges (Figure 1) are particularly abundant. Ralph W. Holzenthal, ... Blanca RÃos-Touma, in Thorp and Covich's Freshwater Invertebrates (Fourth Edition), 2015. The adults of most species have atrophied (wasted away) mouthparts and feed is restricted to sucking nectar and other plant juices. Members of Diptera get their nutrients from liquid sources so they have mouthparts that are designed for sucking liquids. If you continue to use this site we'll assume that you're happy with this. Current velocity is a particularly important factor because many stream insects depend on water currents to obtain food. Skalski has raised an interesting pointâthat some early stem group Lepidoptera may be unrecognized because currently they are assigned to the Trichoptera. Finally, methods for collecting, preparing, and observing immature stages and adults for scientific study are presented. Monophyly of a third putative suborder, Spicipalpia, is more contentious. The oldest unambiguous macrolepidopteran fossils are Paleocene. Aquatic respiration, osmoregulation, diapause, and other physiological adaptations are reviewed. By the early Cretaceous there are well preserved Micropterigidae and an incurvariid (Heteroneura) in amber, and by the late Cretaceous several kinds of leaf mines representing modern families and host-plant associations, both heteroneuran (Nepticulidae) and ditrysian (Phyllocnistidae, Gracillariidae), as well as a ditrysian larval head capsule of a free-living form such as Tineidae. Because of the many similarities that the members of this order share, many species of flies are extremely adaptable and can be found globally in every corner of the earth. The order Trichoptera (caddisflies) is a group of holometabolous insects closely related to butterflies (Lepidoptera). While most of these clearly belong to preglossatan taxa, this is not true of all. The different caddisfly species are variously sensitive to changes in environmental conditions, such that the diversity of the order is commonly used in part as a measure of pollution. Morphological and molecular evidence fail to confirm Spicipalpia monophyly, unless at least Hydroptilidae is removed. The order name Trichoptera is derived from Greek (trich = hair; pteron = wing) and refers to the hairy appearance of the wing. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. Most of the time, the males have a large antennae. The recognition of this is important to understanding spatial patterns of insect diversity in streams. The abdomen ends in a pair of anal processes. You can often identify an insect in this order just by the wing shape and color. macronematine Hydropsychidae) occurring mostly in warmer climates. • males have two hind wings, but instead front wings, they have two, small, knobbed, stalk-like structures. • short antennae comprised of 10 or fewer segments • … Examples from the lower Cretaceous represent extinct genera, whereas those from the Tertiary are assigned to modern genera. Larger species can be pinned and set in the way Lepidoptera are preserved, but smaller species may be better preserved in a suitable liquid. As their name suggests, mayflies have only a short adult life ranging from a few hours up to a day or two depending on the species. The antennae are multisegmented and filiform and often as long as the wings. They were interpreted as a siphon formed of maxillary galeae, which would imply existence of Glossata, 20â30 mya, prior to the radiation of angiosperm plants during the early Cretaceous. They also have halteres, which are smaller, modified wings that look like dumbbells that they use to help balance themselves while flying. 1516149 | Learning to See, Seeing to Learn A Sociotechnical System Supporting Taxonomic Identification Activities in Volunteer-Based Water Quality Biomonitoring They are mostly dull-coloured and range in size from 2-40 millimetres in body length. Adult caddisflies are weak, usually crepuscular (dawn or dusk) fliers. The immature stages are ubiquitous in freshwaters, but are especially diverse in rivers and streams. Neopterous insects primitively have the ability to fold the wings back over their abdomen, using special structures at the base of their wings. While the fossil record of the Trichoptera, the sister group to the Lepidoptera, is adequate and dates into the Permian, the record for lepidopterans is meager, especially for Mesozoic-aged fossils, when the basal lineages were diversifying. The body and wings are clothed with long silky hairs (setae) -- a distinctive characteristic of the order. The strategies used by insects specializing in such âtemporaryâ habitats are diverse and usually include extremely rapid larval development followed by a resting stage, such as desiccation-resistant eggs or pupae, or terrestrial adults in reproductive diapause. David L. Wagner, in Encyclopedia of Biodiversity (Second Edition), 2013. Order Trichoptera . Head: The head has large compound eyes and, if mouthparts are present, they are almost always a drinking straw-like proboscis. Monophyly of suborder Annulipalpia in its strictest sense, comprising families Hydropsychidae, Polycentropodidae, Philopotamidae, and some close relatives, is well supported by larval and adult morphology âincluding presence of annulate apical segment of both adult maxillary and larval palp, absence of male phallic parameres, presence of papillae lateral to the female cerci, and in the larva by the presence of elongate anal hooks and reduced abdominal tergite 10. Not surprisingly, most of the modern superfamilial and species diversity appears after the angiosperms began radiating in the early Cretaceous. The chart below indicates defining characteristics for eight of the more than 30 orders of insects. The antennae are long and slender and are usually about the length of the anterior wing, but they may be longer than the wingspan. They also described and illustrated the larva of this species and included information on its habitat. Water enters the net structure at the top of the photograph and leaves through the net, where seston is captured, and through the tubular retreat where the larva is concealed. Photo: Jessica Lawrence, Eurofins Agroscience Services, Bugwood.org. It is available here as a free download. The name of the group is derived from the Greek words for twisted (streptos) and wing (pteron) and refers to the peculiar twisted wing of the male's hind-wings while in flight.Representatives of the suborder Mengenillidia generally show more primitive characteristics (fig. By definition, sister taxa are of equal age, and thus it is curious that the oldest caddisfly and moth fossils are of such disparate ages. The antennae are very long. Jerry A. Powell, in Encyclopedia of Insects (Second Edition), 2009. 8.3F), Philopotamidae, Polycentropodidae, and Sericostomatidae belonging to 12 genera have been recorded (Table 8.3). The thorax is unmodified, but the thoracic legs often have swimming hairs. Larvae are important components of aquatic food webs. Skalski has suggested the possibility that some early stem group lepidopteran fossils may be unrecognized because they have been erroneously assigned to the Trichoptera. The conditions imposed by such normal extremes in discharge are often referred to as the natural disturbance regime, which is a fundamental determinant of the structure of stream communities. This high species diversity is correlated with an unusual broad range of ecological specialization. Major orders of lotic insects include the Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Auyán-tepui, ChurÃ-tepui, Roraima-tepui, Roraima-tepui, ChurÃ-tepui, Auyán-tepui. Caddisflies are soft-bodied insects with long, slender antennae and two pairs of membranous wings. This finding has special significance because phylogenetic reconstructions for the order have an angiosperm-feeding lineage (the Heterobathmiina) branching off prior to the evolution of the Glossata (Fig. Amphiesmenoptera (Trichoptera+Lepidoptera) is now unchallenged, despite earlier suggestions that Trichoptera arose from within Lepidoptera. They associated the larvae of two of the species, Atopsyche cristinae and A. inmae, and performed a phylogenetic tree to assess the molecular validity of the species, establish an evolutionary relation among them, and interpret the historical biogeography of tepuis. By 102 mya, modern genera of ditrysians are recognizable, suggesting that early evolution of the order occurred on nonseed plants and gymnosperms during the late Jurassic (Labandeira et al., 1994). Insects in reproductive diapause are unable to successfully reproduce until a specific environmental cue (e.g., changes in day length, humidity levels, or temperature thresholds) that stimulates physiological processes, such as egg production and maturation, occurs. Zamora-Muñoz et al. They are generally found during the day resting on vegetation, bridges, or other objects near ponds and streams. John C. Morse, in Encyclopedia of Insects (Second Edition), 2009. The literature on general aspects of life history, ecology and behavior, such as adult emergence, mating behavior, egg laying, predation, construction behavior, food and feeding, drift, and production is reviewed. All insects have a three-part body plan consisting of a head, thorax, and abdomen; three pairs of walking legs; and one or two pairs of wings. The name means 'hairy-winged', and indeed they differ from moths in having hairs rather than scales on their wings, amongst other differences. In addition to pools and riffles, submerged woody debris â or âsnagsâ â provide an important habitat for insects in larger streams and rivers, particularly those with sandy substrata. http://entweb.clemson.edu/database/trichopt/, The Study of Stoneflies, Mayflies and Caddisflies, Copyright © 1997-2020 Amateur Entomologists' Society, Most species hold their wings along their bodies when at rest, with their antenna pointing forward, The adults have two pairs of wings of which the hind one is slightly shorter. During the day, they hide in cool, moist environments such as the vegetation along river banks. The compound eyes are large, and there are two or three ocelli. We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. The head and thorax are also usually hairy. Immature and adult Trichoptera. During periods of high flow, stream substrata may tumble along the stream bed with devastating consequences to insect communities. Humans share over 20 percent of our DNA with Drosophila melanogaster, the fruit fly commonly used to teach genetics in high school science labs. The eggs are normally laid in or near water in a jelly like substance, The females of many species crawl in to the water to lay their eggs, Whilst some larvae are free-living, others construct various different structures for protection and camouflage, Those species which construct a larval case, usually pupate in the case which has been attached to a support. Protolepis cuprealata from Upper Jurassic deposits in Kazakhstan appears to have a coiled proboscis. More than a dozen moth fossils from the Upper Jurassic and Cretaceous are unassignable to a family. Web sites to check: Trichoptera on the NCSU General Entomology page Trichoptera on BugGuide Antennae lay back above the thorax and abdomen. The name means 'hairy-winged', and indeed they differ from moths in having hairs rather than scales on their wings, amongst other differences. Behavior and reproduction:The larvae build cases with long … This website uses cookies, if you want to use our site without cookies or would like to know more, please see Privacy & Cookies. Inset shows details of the larva of Hydropsyche. They are bilaterally symmetrical, triploblastic, metamerically segmented animals. Feeding: Collectors/filterers – omnivorous larvae feed on algae, detritus and small invertebrates that get caught in the net. Most species descriptions of South American caddisflies are based only on adults without associated immature stages. When collecting immature Trichoptera, Preserve the case in alcohol along with the larva, pupa, or both. R.W. Caddis flies, order Trichoptera, are small flying insects that are probably more closely related to the butterflies and moths (order Lepidoptera) than to true flies (order Diptera). 140 and 90 mya. Leaf-mining families from the Northern Hemisphere have an extensive fossil record that is believed to reflect their ages of origin as well as their relative abundances. Micropterigids have been identified from several amber and sedimentary deposits. The hyporheos â the fauna inhabiting the hyporheic zone â may occur many meters below or adjacent to the stream channel. Arguing against Gall and Tiffney's identification is the observation that all present-day noctuids have a thoracic âearâ sensitive to the ultrasonic frequencies emitted by bats and that the oldest bat fossils date back only to the Eocene.
