Ceratotrichia Flint, 1992 (Trichoptera: Hydroptilidae) larval and pupal description and new genus records for Brazil

Abstract

The first description of Ceratotrichia larva and pupa is provided. Also, this is the first time that this genus is reported in Brazil; the specimens were collected in streams in Presidente Figueiredo County, Amazonas state. Association of the immatures with the adults was made using the metamorphotype technique, and identification was made by comparison of pharate adults with the original genus description. The larva has morphological characteristics typical of the Leucotrichiini tribe. Other new records for Brazil include the genera Alisotrichia Flint and Zumatrichia Mosely, while the record of Anchitrichia Flint is new for Brazilian Amazonia. © 2004, Sociedad Venezolana de Entomología.
