9318074 MORSE Until very recently the Chinese government would not allow specimens to leave the country for study. This project is based on careful efforts by the Principal Investigator to foster collaboration with Chinese scientists and to receive governmental approval/permission for such collaboration. Extensive collecting in six provinces of the People's Republic of China during the summer of 1990 established that approximately 70% of the caddis fly fauna (Insecta: Trichoptera) is undescribed. These insects are extremely important as indicators of water quality. This research project will involve description of this understudied group of insects from China, revisionary studies for four families, and biogeographic analyses. It is thought that the biogeographic analyses of the Chinese faunas will be very important to understanding the biogeography of these insect groups on a worldwide basis. Two Chinese scientists will be trained in modern systematic methods for study of Trichoptera at Clemson University. %%% Caddis flies are important indicators of water quality. However, for the People's Republic of China, these and other aquatic insects remain poorly studied. This project will describe many new species recently collected in China and undertake studies of relationships among species and their biogeographic distributions. Fostering collaboration with scientists from the People's Republic of China is an important element of this project. ***

小莫尔斯9318074 直到最近，中国政府还不允许标本出境进行研究。 该项目是基于主要研究者的精心努力，以促进与中国科学家的合作，并获得政府对此类合作的批准/许可。 1990年夏季在中华人民共和国六个省的广泛采集表明，毛翅目毛翅目（Caddis）蝇类中约有70%的种类尚未描述。 这些昆虫作为水质指标非常重要。 本研究计画将包括对这群中国昆虫的描述、对四个科的修订研究以及昆虫地理分析。 中国昆虫区系的地理分析对了解世界范围内这些昆虫的地理分布具有重要意义。 两名中国科学家将在克莱姆森大学接受毛翅目研究现代系统方法的培训。 %石蛾是水质的重要指标。 然而，对于中华人民共和国来说，这些和其他水生昆虫的研究仍然很少。 本项目将描述中国新发现的许多种，并对种间关系及其地理分布进行研究。 促进与中华人民共和国科学家的合作是该项目的一个重要内容。 ***
