Item Hydroptilidae (Trichoptera) from Costa Rica: the genus Mayatrichia Mosely(New York Entomological Society, 1990) Harris, Steven C.; Holzenthal, Ralph W.The genus Mayatrichia is represented in Costa Rica by three species, M. ayama Mosely, M. rualda Mosely, and M. illobia, new species. The new species, also known from Ecuador, is described and illustrated. Distribution records, maps, and a key are provided for known Costa Rican species of Mayatrichia.Item Hydroptilidae (Trichoptera) of Costa Rica and the Neotropics: Systematics of the genus Byrsopteryx Flint (Stactobiini)(New York Entomological Society, 1994) Harris, Steven C.; Holzenthal, Ralph W.The systematics of the genus Byrsopteryx are reviewed. Two previously described species, B. miri.fica Flint from Venezuela, the type species of the genus, and B. septempunctata (Flint) from Dominica are redescribed and illustrated. In addition, 11 new species are described and illustrated: B. chaconi, B. cuchilla, B. esparta, B. gomezi, B. solisi, B. tapanti, and B. tica from Costa Rica; B. loja an.d B. rayada from Ecuador; and B. abrelata and B. espinhosa from Brazil. Keys to species for males and females are presented. The genus is transferred from the Leucotrichiini to the Stactobiini. A species level phylogenetic analysis reveals that the Costa Rican species form a monophyletic group.Item Hydroptilidae (Trichoptera) of Costa Rica: the genus Oxyethira Eaton(New York Entomological Society, 1992) Holzenthal, Ralph W.; Harris, Steven C.Nine new species of Oxyethira (Trichoptera: Hydroptilidae) are described from Costa Rica: 0. apinolada, 0 . cuernuda, 0. culebra, 0. espinada, 0. hilosa, 0. rareza, 0 . sencilla, 0. sierruca, and 0. tica. Males of each new species are described and figured. In addition, distribution records are presented for eight previously described species occurring in Costa Rica: 0. arizona Ross, 0. azteca (Mosely), 0. costaricensis Kelley, 0. glasa (Ross), O.janella Denning, 0 . parazteca Kelley, 0. parce (Edwards and Arnold), and 0. simulatrix Flint. A key is provided to males of the Costa Rican species.Item Nomenclatural and systematic changes in the Neotropical caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera)(Center for Systematic Entomology Inc., 1999) Flint, Oliver S. JR; Holzenthal, Ralph W.; Harris, Steven C.Recent work on a catalog of the Neotropical caddisflies has resulted in the recognition of the need to make numerous lectotype designations, new names for homonyms, specific and generic synonymies, transfers of species between genera and genera between families, and placement of many long ignored names of Muller and others. Rationales are presented for all actions, many of which had been known for years as the result of examination of types, but no opportunity had arisen to publish them, others became apparent as a result of the cataloging. This opportunity is taken to present all of those known to us to avoid having them hidden in a general catalog. They are presented alphabetically by family and then alphabetically by the name of the species or genus requiring action. Acronyms of museums and collections cited in the text aredetailed in the Acknowledgments.Item Review of the Neotropical genus Flintiella (Trichoptera: Hydroptilidae: Stactobiini)(2002) Harris, Steven C.; Flint, Oliver S. Jr; Holzenthal, Ralph W.The Neotropical genus Flintiella is reviewed and eight new species are described and illustrated: F. alajuela from Costa Rica, F. boraceia from Brazil, F. panamensis from Panama, F. tamaulipasa from Mexico, F. yanamona from Peru, F. heredia from Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Peru, F. astilla from Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela, and F. pizotensis from Columbia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, and Peru. New illustrations are provided for F. andreae Angrisano. Keys are provided to separate the males and the associated females of the nine known species in the genus.Item Review of the Neotropical genus Flintiella (Trichoptera: Hydroptilidae: Stactobiini)(New York Entomological Society, 2002) Harris, Steven C.; Flint, Oliver S. JR; Holzenthal, Ralph W.The Neotropical genus Flintiella is reviewed and eight new species are described and illustrated: F. alajuela from Costa Rica, F. boraceia from Brazil, F. panamensis from Panama, F. tamaulipasa from Mexico, F. yanamona from Peru, F. heredia from Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Peru, F. astilla from Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela, and F. pizotensis from Columbia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, and Peru. New illustrations are provided for F. andreae Angrisano. Keys are provided to separate the males and the associated females of the nine known species in the genus.Item The Trichoptera of Panama I. New records for caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera) from the Republic of Panama(Center for Systematic Entomology Inc., 2015) Armitage, Brian J.; Harris, Steven C.; Holzenthal, Ralph W.The Republic of Panama currently has 245 recorded species of Trichoptera distributed among 13 families. Herein we add 32 new country records for Panama, including one new family (Limnephilidae) and one new genus (Limnephilus). We also provide the first collection information for Oxyethira maya Denning for Panama. These results are part of an ongoing effort to characterize the caddisfly fauna of Panama, and to evaluate that country’s major cuencas (water basins).Item Two new genera of Hydroptilidae from the neotropics (Trichoptera: Hydroptilidae: Stactobiini).(New York Entomological Society, 2002) Harris, Steven C.; Flint, Oliver S. JR; Holzenthal, Ralph W.Two new monotypic genera of stactobine microcaddisflies (Trichoptera: Hydroptilidae), Orinocotrichia, and Tizatetrichia, are described and illustrated from Venezuela and Costa Rica, respectively. Keys are provided for males and females of the New World generacomprising the tribe Stactobiini.
