Abstract

Systematic studies on
Trichoptera larvae in Turkey are very limited. The larval stage of the endemic
species remains especially unknown. This study was carried out in Araç Creek
between April and October 2013 and it is the first study to determine the
caddisfly fauna in Araç Creek. Fourteen caddisflies taxa belonging to nine
genera within eight different families (Brachycentridae, Hydropsychidae,
Hydroptilidae, Lepidostomatidae, Leptoceridae, Limnephilidae, Psychomyiidae and
Rhyacophilidae) were identified. Four of these taxa have previously been recorded
from the creek and the other ten taxa are new records for the study area while Micrasema cinereum Mosely is the first
record for the Trichoptera fauna of Turkey. As a result of the study, the
number of caddisfly taxa in Turkey is now 501, with the addition of M. cinereum.
