Biological observations on Tupiperla (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae)

Biological observations on Tupiperla (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae).

Tupiperla illiesi fly along the year in the coastal mountains of southeastern Brazil, with larger numbers during the warmer rainy season. In the seasonal tropical climate of Central Brazil and Serra do Cipó, MG, T oliveirai and T. gracilis, respectively, fly along the year but the pattern is still not known. In the higher elevation (ca. 1600 m a.s.l.) of Campos do Jordao, SP, species of Tupiper...

A new species and new records of gripopterygidae (plecoptera) from the Serra dos Orgãos, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil.

A new species of the stonefly family Gripopterygidae, Tupiperla barbosai sp. nov. is described from the Serra dos Orgãos, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. Additionally, two new species records are presented from the Serra dos Orgãos, Tupiperla reichardti Froehlich and Guaranyperla guapiara Froehlich, the latter a new record for Rio de Janeiro State. A review of the species of Gripopterygidae from ...

Aquatic Insects: Hemimetabolous Insects – Plecoptera

Mitochondrial Genome of the Stonefly Kamimuria wangi (Plecoptera: Perlidae) and Phylogenetic Position of Plecoptera Based on Mitogenomes

This study determined the mitochondrial genome sequence of the stonefly, Kamimuria wangi. In order to investigate the relatedness of stonefly to other members of Neoptera, a phylogenetic analysis was undertaken based on 13 protein-coding genes of mitochondrial genomes in 13 representative insects. The mitochondrial genome of the stonefly is a circular molecule consisting of 16,179 nucleotides a...

Symbiotic Harpellales (Trichomycetes) in Tasmanian aquatic insects.

Surveys for symbiotic fungi in the guts of aquatic insect larvae (Trichomycetes: Harpellales) in Tasmania, Australia, resulted in the discovery of four new species: two in Gripopterygidae (Plecoptera) nymphs, Plecopteromyces leptoperlarum and P. trinotoperlarum, and two associated with Diptera larvae, Smittium magnosporum in Thaumaleidae and Stachylina dolichospora in Chironomidae. Previously d...
