Introduction
We arrived in Panama at the end of 2012. Beginning in 2014, we began working to increase our knowledge of the Trichoptera and Plecoptera in this amazingly biodiverse country. To date 33 papers (Trichoptera--28, Plecoptera--3, and Diptera--2) have been published about aquatic taxa in Panama. As of early 2024, we have added 278 species, 2 families, and 11 genera of caddisflies to Panamas fauna. We are currently training two Panamanians with M.Sc. degrees in the Trichoptera systematics.

The flora and fauna of Panama is species-rich due to its location and topography, and the resulting diversity of microclimates and habitats. The last two summaries (benchmarks) of information about the caddisfly fauna (Insecta, Trichoptera) Panama were published in1992 and 2015. From 1861 to 2015, researchers from outside of Panama recorded 13 fami...

Guanacaste Province in northwestern Costa Rica. Since then, the
second species (T. panamensis Harris and Armitage, 2019) was discovered in a small Carib...

Two subspecies of the Common Wormsnake, generally found east of the Mississippi River, are recognized: the Eastern Wormsnake (Carphophis a. amoenus) and the Midwestern Wormsnake (Carphophis a. helenae). There is a broad range of intergradation in Ohio for these two subspecies. In Ohio, wormsnakes are found in a variety of habitats, however, they ar...
Northern Ring-necked Snake (Diadophis punctatus edwardsii) is a small species found in northeastern and mideastern portions of the U.S. and in southeastern Canada. In Ohio, we have voucher specimens and records primarily from the unglaciated part of Ohio and from the southwestern corner of the State. Ohio populations are part of the northeastern li...

It also includes the crane fly data generated during a major, 8-year (1993-2000) field survey of aquatic insects by the Ohio Biological Survey under the direction of the second author. A total of 244 species of crane flies are now kno...
Cypherotylus dromedarius (Lacordaire, 1842) (Coleoptera: Erotylidae) was described from French Guiana.

Two new species of Anacroneuria are described. Anacroneuria bandido sp. n. is described from Coclé and Veraguas provinces of central Panama, and A. tuberculata sp. n. is proposed to provide a new name for a species previously identified from Costa Rica as A. magnirufa Jewett, 1958. New locality records are presented for eight species previously rep...
The Río Caldera occupies the northernmost subbasin of the Río Chiriqui watershed area. Two of its tributaries, Quebrada Grande and Quebrada Jaramillo, occur in close proximity and on opposite sides, and have different recent geologic histories and current land use patterns.

The newly recorded caddisfly taxa increase Panama’s tot...
Background
We provide volume II of a distributional atlas of aquatic insects for the eastern USA state of Ohio. This treatment of stoneflies (Plecoptera) is companion to Armitage et al. (2011) on caddisflies (Trichoptera). We build on a recent analysis of Ohio stonefly diversity patterns based on large drainages (DeWalt et al. 2012), but add 3717 n...
Current Ohio stoneflies, microcitations of known works with names used and count of species. Names reconciled in text.
In order to ascertain the distribution of the insect order Trichoptera (caddisflies) in Panama, we reviewed the taxonomic literature for the adult stage. This was necessary because almost none of the immature stages in this order have been associated. Aguila (1992) generated the first summary of information about the adult Trichopteran species and...
