Tasmanoplegas, with a single included species known only from western Tasmania, was recently synonymised with Plectrocnemia (Olah and Johanson 2010); however, it differs from Plectrocnemia in having stalked fork II in the hind wing, as well as differences in the male and female genitalia (Neboiss 1977). The placement of P. spilota (Neboiss, 1977) was unresolved in our analysis.…”

Abstract. Phylogeny of Polycentropodidae Ulmer is inferred based on data from immature and adult stages. Larval information is unknown for 61% of the taxa included in this study. To understand the effects of including characters with large sets of missing data, three alternative datasets were analysed using parsimony and Bayesian methods. Five outgroup taxa, including the four families in Psychomyioidea and the single family in Hydropsychoidea, were used in all datasets. Monophyly of Polycentropodidae, as currently defined, was rejected and the monophyly of the three largest cosmopolitan genera, Polycentropus, Polyplectropus and Nyctiophylax, was not confirmed. Monophyly of Pseudoneureclipsinae, including the genera Antillopsyche and Pseudoneureclipsis, was supported in all analyses. The placement of Pseudoneureclipsis within Dipseudopsidae was rejected. Monophyly of Kambaitipsychinae was supported, but its placement within Polycentropodidae was not confirmed. Analyses were sensitive to either inclusion or exclusion of characters from immature stages. Based on the results of these analyses, the following taxonomic changes are established: Kambaitipsychidae, stat. nov. and Pseudoneureclipsidae, stat. nov. are elevated to family status. North American Polycentropus species originally described in either Plectrocnemia or Holocentropus are returned to their original combinations and North American species described in Polycentropus post-1944 are transferred to either Holocentropus or Plectrocnemia. The following new or reinstated combinations are proposed: Plectrocnemia albipuncta Banks, comb, rev.; Plectrocnemia aureola Banks, comb, rev.; Plectrocnemia cinerea (Hagen), comb, rev.; Plectrocnemia clinei Milne, comb, rev.; Plectrocnemia crassicornis (Walker), comb, rev.; Plectrocnemia jenula (Denning) comb, nov.; Plectrocnemia icula (Ross), comb, nov.; Plectrocnemia nascotia (Ross), comb, nov.; Plectrocnemia remota (Banks), comb, rev.; Plectrocnemia sabulosa (Leonard & Leonard), comb, nov.; Plectrocnemia smithae (Denning), comb, nov.; Plectrocnemia vigilatrix Navas, comb, rev

“…Sensitive tests of the effects of land use on stream aquatic fauna may require taxonomic discrimination to species level, although family level identification has been shown to be sufficient to allow consistent site classification in relation to such impacts (Marchant 1990). In the present study, the identification of fauna to lower than family level was precluded in part by resource limitations, but also by the high local endemicity, particularly of the Tasmanian aquatic insect fauna (Neboiss 1977;Hynes 1989), which would reduce the degree of replication per taxon in the detection of logging impacts owing to the necessarily wide geographical distribution of study streams.…”

Impacts from the logging of Eucalyptus forest on stream habitat, macroinvertebrate abundance and diversity, and fish abundance were surveyed in Tasmania, Australia. Forty-five pairs of sites from 34 streams of 22.5 krn2 catchment area were each sampled once during summer in the period 1990-92. Each site pair consisted of an 'impacted' site downstream of a logging treatment and an upstream or closely matched 'paired control' site. Site pair treatments encompassed two logging methods (cable and conventional) with a range of riparian buffer strip widths (0-50 m) and included unlogged controls. Differences between site pair variables were used as test statistics for the detection of logging impacts. Logging significantly increased riffle sediment, length of open stream, periphytic algal cover, water temperature and snag volume. Logging also significantly decreased riffle macroinvertebrate abundance, particularly of stoneflies and leptophlebiid mayflies, and brown trout abundance. All effects of logging were dependent on buffer strip width and were not significantly affected by coupe slope, soil erodibility or time (over one to five years) since logging. All impacts of logging were significant only at buffer widths of <30 m. Minimum buffer widths for eliminating logging impacts on stream habitats and biota are discussed.

“…There are at least 187 known species of caddisfly in New Zealand, and about 40% of these belong to the austral family Hydrobiosidae (Forsyth & Lewis 1987). This compares with 195 species in the United Kingdom (Wallace 1991), and 157 species in Tasmania, Australia (Neboiss 1977).…”

The international significance of the New Zealand freshwater macroinvertebrate fauna is established, existing and potential threats to it are reviewed, and regional patterns of invertebrate distribution based on current information are examined. Distinctive features of international significance are the poor representation or absence of some invertebrate groups, a high degree of speciation amongst other groups, an apparently large number of primitive species, a high degree of endemicity, and the southern-most representatives of some cosmopolitan groups. The greatest threat to freshwater invertebrates has been loss and reduced quality of habitat caused by human-induced modifications to the catchment, riparian and channel environments, and changes to water quality and river flows. Predation by alien species of invertebrates, fish, and birds may also have had significant impacts on the native aquatic invertebrate fauna. Analysis of invertebrate distributions has identified 154 species known from surface waters on mainland New Zealand that have "restricted" distributions (known from three or fewer Ecological Regions). Twenty species colonising underground waters are also known from three or fewer Ecological Regions, and 36 species of freshwater invertebrates are known only from offshore islands. Species-and habitat-based approaches to invertebrate conservation are evaluated. M93010
