A new species of Plectrocnemia (Trichoptera: Polycentropodidae) from Rovno amber.

A new caddisfly species Plectrocnemia kirmikhia sp. nov. (Polycentropodidae) is described from Priabonian Rovno amber (Upper Eocene, 33.

New Caddisflies (Insecta, Trichoptera) from the Krabi and Phang Nga Provinces, southern Thailand.

An updated list of the caddisfly species occurring in Krabi and Phang Nga Provinces, southern Thailand, comprises 76 species. Among them, 69 species are found in Krabi Province and 17 in Phang Nga Province, 4 are new for science and 2 new for Thailand. New species from the families Hydroptilidae (Hydroptila nevdomek sp.

Comparison of sensory structures on the antenna of different species of Philopotamidae (Insecta: Trichoptera).

Structure and distribution of sensilla were studied in sixteen species of the caddisfly family Philopotamidae. Their antennae bear numerous curved trichoid and pseudoplacoid sensilla and fewer coronal, styloconic and chaetoid sensilla on the flagellar segments. The most numerous pseudoplacoid sensilla have non-specific localization.

A new species of Tinodes (Trichoptera: Psychomyiidae) from Madagascar.

The genus Tinodes (Psychomyiidae) has a wide distribution in the Eastern Hemisphere with the richest species assemblages in the Oriental and southern parts of the Western Palearctic regions. In comparison with the species assemblages in those regions, diversity of the African species of this genus is relatively poor. A brief review of the 10 then-known Afrotropical species belonging to the genus Tinodes was published by Johanson & Oláh (2007) together with descriptions of 14 new species.

New data on caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera) from Lombok (Indonesia) with descriptions of two new species.

Knowledge of caddisflies of the Sunda Islands was insufficiently known until recent times; a survey of the caddis fauna of this area was given by Malicky (2010) and some more data were published recently (Malicky et al. 2011). A summary on the particular features of Trichoptera from 3 adjacent islands, Bali, Lombok, and Java, were given by Malicky et al.

New data on Rhyacophila (Trichoptera: Rhyacophilidae) from West Malaysia and Indonesia (Lombok and Bali) with descriptions of two new species.

A new species, Rhyacophila langkawia sp. n., belonging to the R.

Three new caddisflies species of the fossil genus Archaeotinodes (Insecta: Trichoptera: Ecnomidae) from the Baltic Amber.

Three new caddisflies species of the fossil genus Archaeotinodes: Archaeotinodes petropolitana sp. nov., Archaeotinodes regiomontana sp.

Identification of a sex pheromone produced by sternal glands in females of the caddisfly Molanna angustata curtis.

In the caddisfly Molanna angustata, females produce a sex pheromone in glands with openings on the fifth sternite. Gas chromatographic analyses of pheromone gland extracts with electroantennographic detection revealed four major compounds that stimulated male antennae. These compounds were identified by means of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and enantioselective gas chromatography as heptan-2-one, (S)-heptan-2-ol, nonan-2-one, and (S)-nonan-2-ol in the approximate ratio of 1:1:4:10, respectively.
