  • The Trichoptera of Vanuatu
    Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift, 2011
    Co-Authors: Kjell Arne Johanson, Tobias Malm, Alice Wells, Marianne Espeland
    Abstract:

    The Trichoptera diversity of Vanuatu is reviewed based on earlier and recently collected material. Altogether, 20 species in 12 genera and 8 families are now recognized for the country, of which 12 species are described as new to science in the families Hydrobiosidae (1 species), Hydroptilidae (5 species), Philopotamidae (3 species) and Leptoceridae (3 species). The previously known species from Vanuatu are re-described with illustrations and photographs. A key to adults of the Trichoptera fauna of Vanuatu is provided.

  • A new classification of the long-horned caddisflies (Trichoptera : Leptoceridae) based on molecular data
    BMC evolutionary biology, 2011
    Co-Authors: Tobias Malm, Kjell Arne Johanson
    Abstract:

    Leptoceridae are among the three largest families of Trichoptera (caddisflies). The current classification is founded on a phylogenetic work from the 1980's, based on morphological characters from adult males, i.e. wing venation, tibial spur formula and genital morphology. In order to get a new opinion about the relationships within the family, we undertook a molecular study of the family based on sequences from five genes, mitochondrial COI and the four nuclear genes CAD, EF-1α, IDH and POL. The resulting phylogenetic hypotheses are more or less congruent with the morphologically based classification, with most genera and tribes recovered as monophyletic, but with some major differences. For monophyly of the two subfamilies Triplectidinae and Leptocerinae, one tribe of each was removed and elevated to subfamily status; however monophyly of some genera and tribes is in question. All clades except Leptocerinae, were stable across different analysis methods. We elevate the tribes Grumichellini and Leptorussini to subfamily status, Grumichellinae and Leptorussinae, respectively. We also propose the synonymies of Ptochoecetis with Oecetis and Condocerus with Hudsonema.

In addition, the following species are recorded from Sumatra for the first time: Chimarra briseis Malicky (Philopotamidae); Ecnomus hendersoni Mosely (Ecnomidae); Diplectrona dulitensis Kimmins and Hydropsyche butes Malicky & Chantaramongkol (Hydropsychidae); and Ganonema ochraceellum (McLachlan) (Calamoceratidae).

  • Description of three new caddisfly species from Mayotte Island, Comoros Archipelago (Insecta: Trichoptera)
    Zootaxa, 2009
    Co-Authors: Kjell Arne Johanson, Nathalie Mary
    Abstract:

    We report five new species records from the Comoros Archipelago. Two of the species are known from outside the Archipelago, Hydroptila cruciata Ulmer (Hydroptilidae) and Anisocentropus voeltzkowi Ulmer (Calamoceratidae), and three species are described as new to science: Pisulia stoltzei ,new species (Pisuliidae), and: Chimarra mayottensis, new species and Chimarra koulaeensis, new species (Philopotamidae). Five species have been previously recorded from the Comoros Islands: Cheumatopsyche comorina (Navas), Macrostemum capense (Walker), Cheumatopsyche vala Malicky (Hydropsychidae), Hydroptila voticia Malicky (Hydroptilidae), and Oecetis atpomarus Malicky (Leptoceridae). With this report the number of species from the Comoros is doubled. These findings also represent the first records of Trichoptera from Mayotte.
