Abstract:Trichoptera are a diverse group of insects with aerial adults and aquatic immature stages. Despite their importance in freshwater environments, fundamental aspects of their biology are unknown, and no chromosomal studies have been performed in Neotropical species. The aim of this study was to provide the first cytogenetic analysis of four Trichoptera species from the Neotropics. We analysed the meiotic development and chromosome behaviour in Smicridea (Rhyacophylax) pampeana Flint (Annulipalpia: Hydropsychidae… Show more
