Caddisfly Species New to, or Rarely Recorded from, the State of Virginia (Insecta: Trichoptera)
Flint OS. 2014. Caddisfly Species New to, or Rarely Recorded from, the State of Virginia (Insecta: Trichoptera). Banisteria. 43:89-92
ABSTRACT: Eight species of caddisflies (Trichoptera) are added to the 361 species recorded by 2009 from the state of Virginia. There are now 369 species confirmed from the state. The new records are: Agapetus baueri and A. kirchneri (Glossosomatidae), Hydroptila ampoda, H. nicoli, Neotrichia collata, Oxyethira abacatia (Hydroptilidae), Oligostomis ocelligera (Phryganeidae), and Polycentropus colei (Polycentropodidae). Significant range extensions are recorded for three species rarely reported from the state: Adicrophleps hitchcocki (Brachycentridae), Hydroptila lonchera (Hydroptilidae), and Lepidostoma serratum Lepidostomatidae). Two additional species are tentatively recorded based on females that need associated males for confirmation: Oxyethira dunbartonensis (Hydroptilidae, this would be another new state record if confirmed), and Theliopsyche grisea (Lepidostomatidae, a range extension). Agapetus rossi has been shown to be a synonym of A. walkeri (Glossosomatidae).
