Checklist of Caddisflies (Insecta, Trichoptera) from Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil

“…The number of taxonomists working on caddisflies in Brazil has increased significantly (Calor, 2011). Our knowledge has been improved in the same proportion.…”

“…Paprocki et al (2004) reported only 378 species in 61 genera, and Santos et al (2015) elevated it 642 species and 70 genera.
