World Revision of the Caddisfly Family Lepidostomatidae (Insecta: Trichoptera)

毛翅目（“石蛾”）分布于世界各地， 它们构成水生群落的重要组成部分， 其幼虫囊被用作环境质量 指标 过去的分类工作产生了一种混乱， 属名和分类，由于未能 对比一下新世界和旧世界的代表。 约翰·韦弗博士 提出了一个修订的caddisfly家庭Lepidostomatidae （近300种）来自世界各地。 各种成人 字符将被使用，导致新的描述 物种、澄清的局限性和分类 分类和出版鉴定指南。 石蛾是溪流生境的重要组成部分， 世界范围内的修订将对许多领域产生影响， research. 生态学家和环境质量研究人员将 有可靠的标准来识别物种，从而提高 我们对河流中营养物质流动的理解。 拟议 通用修订还将为今后的 石蛾的进化和地理学研究。

The Trichoptera ("caddisflies") are distributed worldwide, they constitute an important component of aquatic communities, and their larval capsules are used as environmental quality indicators. Past taxonomic work has produced a confusion of genus names and classifications, resulting from a failure to compare Old and New World representatives. Dr. John Weaver proposes a revision of the caddisfly family Lepidostomatidae (almost 300 species) from around the world. A variety of adult characters will be used, resulting in descriptions of new species, clarification of the limitations and classification of genera, and publication of identification guides. Caddisflies are an important component of stream habitats, and a worldwide revision would have impact on many areas of research. Ecologists and environmental quality researchers would have reliable criteria for identifying species, thereby improving our understanding of nutrient flow in streams. The proposed generic revision would also provide a foundation for future studies of caddisfly evolution and biogeography.
