“…Trichoptera Kirby, 1834 (caddisflies; Figure 1) is the seventh most species-rich order of Insecta, with more than 16,000 extant species belonging to 52 extant families worldwide (Clair et al, 2018;Holzenthal et al, 2011;Johanson et al, 2017;Morse, 2021). Its species diversity is greater than the combined total of all the other completely aquatic insect orders (Odonata, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Megaloptera; Dijkstra et al, 2014;Morse et al, 2019).…”

Mitochondrial genomes have been widely used for phylogenetic reconstruction and evolutionary analysis in various groups of Insecta. Gene rearrangements in the mitogenome can be informative characters for phylogenetic reconstruction and adaptive evolution.Trichoptera is one of the most important groups of aquatic insects. Prior to this study, complete mitogenomes from Trichoptera were restricted to eight families, resulting in a biased view of their mitogenome structure and evolution. Here, we assemble new mitogenomes for 66 species by high-throughput sequencing. The mitogenomes of 19 families and 47 genera are documented for the first time. Combined with 16 previously published mitogenomes of Trichoptera, we find 14 kinds of gene rearrangement patterns novel for Trichoptera, including rearrangement of protein-coding genes, tRNAs and control regions. Simultaneously, we provide evidence for the occurrence of tandem duplication and non-random loss events in the mitogenomes of three families. Phylogenetic analyses show that Hydroptilidae was recovered as a sister group to Annulipalpia. The increased nucleotide substitution rate and adaptive evolution may have affected the mitochondrial gene rearrangements in Trichoptera. Our study offers new insights into the mechanisms and patterns of mitogenome rearrangements in Insecta at large and into the usefulness of mitogenomic gene order as a phylogenetic marker within Trichoptera.

“…) with the aid of silk from modified labial salivary glands. With 16 000 described species distributed among 52 extant families, including three recently established families and one family synonymization (Holzenthal et al ., ; Johanson et al ., ; St. Clair et al ., ), Trichoptera contain more species than any of the other exclusively aquatic insect orders (Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, Megaloptera) and are the seventh most species‐rich order among Insecta. Larvae are found in both standing and running freshwater ecosystems, with a small number that are either semi‐terrestrial or inhabit brackish waters, temporary ponds, or even marine intertidal pools.…”

The Trichoptera, or caddisflies, are traditionally split into two taxonomic subdivisions: the 'retreat-making' Annulipalpia and the 'case-making' Integripalpia (sensu Ross). The monophyly of these groups is well documented; however, the establishment of a third subdivision, 'Spicipalpia', and the positions of the five 'spicipalpian' families is much debated. In contrast to previous molecular studies using nuclear ribosomal RNA, a recent trichopteran study (using nuclear protein-coding genes) placed one of these 'spicipalpian' families, the free-living predatory Rhyacophilidae, as the sister taxon to the rest of Trichoptera, a result that has significant implications for both the understanding of trichopteran evolution and its timing. This paper sets out to investigate the relationships of Trichoptera using several newly sequenced genes, together with previously published gene sequences. This dataset is the largest trichopteran dataset to date, covering six independent genes and > 10 000 nucleotides, and containing 185 species representing 49 families. With all data included, likelihood and Bayesian analyses support a monophyletic Annulipalpia and a monophyletic Integripalpia, which includes the 'spicipalpians' as a paraphyletic grade at the base of this clade. However, an analysis of the protein-coding data alone using similar analytical methods recovers Rhyacophilidae as the most basal taxon in Trichoptera, with low support. A reanalysis correcting for nucleotide composition bias provides support for the placement of the 'spicipalpian' taxa as sister to the Integripalpia, consistent with the total data analysis, suggesting that the basal position of Rhyacophilidae in the uncorrected analysis could be (or is probably) an artefact of base composition. We find it likely that ancestral trichopterans made incipient cases and retreats, and these had independent origins as precocious pupal chambers. Molecular dating analysis in beast, using the birth-death model of speciation, with a relaxed-clock model of sequence evolution informed by 37 fossil constraints, suggests that the most recent common ancestor of Trichoptera appeared in the Permian (c. 275 Ma) in line with the first appearance of Trichoptera in the fossil record, and that vicariance explains the distribution of most trichopteran taxa. A new infraordinal name, Phryganides, is introduced for the tube-case-making families of Integripalpia.

This review of the status of Australian caddisflies focuses on publications from 1982 to 2022. Information is provided on new species described in that period, new keys, new descriptions of both adults and larvae, and the distribution of families and genera from states/regions and the Northern Territory. Australia’s caddisfly fauna now totals 27 families, 111 genera and 868 species, with 97.9% of species endemic to Australia (only 19 of the 868 species are known from outside Australia, mainly from the nearby island of New Guinea – Papua New Guinea and Papua Province, Indonesia); some species also extend into New Zealand and South-East Asia. The biogeography of the Australian fauna is discussed briefly in terms of “northern” and “southern” faunal elements, faunal provinces, distributional barriers, areas of highest biodiversity and refuge areas. Northern and southern elements in the Australian Trichoptera fauna are indicated. The highest biodiversity is recorded in the following states/regions: New South Wales with 263 species, northern Queensland (N-Qld) with 248 species and Victoria with 247 species. The highest endemicity is in southern Western Australia (S-WA), with 73% endemic species, followed by N-Qld with 58% and Tasmania with 57%. The lowest numbers of species have been recorded from South Australia and S-WA, with 42 and 49 species respectively.
