Plecoptera is an order of aquatic insects that occurs mainly in clean, fast and well-oxygenated streams. This order, together with Ephemeroptera, Megaloptera, Neuroptera and Trichoptera were inserted by Linnaeus in 1758 in the Systema Naturae in Neuroptera, but in the 19th century they gained the status of order. Plecoptera has approximately 3700 species described in 16 families. Despite …
The objective of this project is to contribute to a better taxonomic and systematic knowledge of the order Plecoptera from South America, especially from Brazil. In order to achieve this objective, specimens will be collected in different regions of South America, which will serve as the basis for taxonomic and systematic studies. As specific objectives, we have: 1) to describe new specie…
This project aims to contribute to the improving of taxonomic and systematic knowledge of the orders Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera, training new taxonomists of these groups and to embody the use of molecular tools on the laboratory routines, reducing the Linnean, Wallacean and Henningian deficits for this fauna. To meet these goals, we will collect samples from different regio…
The order Odonata, although one of the best-studied insect groups in terms of taxonomy, still has many recurring problems such as the lack of reliable diagnostic characters and identification keys for both sexes, wrongly described taxa from coloring characters, uncertain taxonomic diagnosis for females, and groups that have never been analyzed phylogenetically. In a recent phylogeny for t…
Insects belonging to the order Phasmatodea are popularly called stick insects because they generally have an elongated body and sharp cryptic camouflage that resemble plant structures. Although they are large and charismatic insects, their taxonomic and biological aspects are unknown to most Brazilian species. Xerosoma canaliculatum Serville, 1831 belongs to the family Pseudophasmatidae. …
In this project, specimens of Perlidae (Plecoptera) will be collected in Paranapiacaba Mountains in the Parque Estadual Turístico do Alto Ribeira (PETAR), Parque Estadual Intervales (PEI) and Parque Estadual Carlos Botelho (PECB), São Paulo State, with the following objectives: 1) to identify species of Perlidae from Paranapiacaba Mountains using morphology and then obtaining sequences of…
Elmidae is one of the most diverse and widespread families of aquatic beetles, comprising approximately 1300 species in 146 genera. Their greatest diversity is found in mountain streams of tropical and subtropical regions. Both Elmidae larvae and adults are aquatic and the family is divided into two subfamilies, Larainae and Elminae, which is the richest one. Hexacylloepus Hinton, 1940 is…

The search for understanding the role of environmental and spatial factors on the structuring of communities has been a central issue in ecology and evolution. In this context, during the development of this research plan, we will analyze different datasets on metacommunities of aquatic insects in streams in order to answer the following questions: 1) which are the most important factors …
Gripopterygidae (Plecoptera) is composed by 52 genera and about 300 species, 100 of them recorded in the Neotropical region. Currently, the family is divided into five subfamilies being Gripopteryginae endemic of South America. They are characterized by legs with a pair of distoventral spurs on each tibia, forewings with a long Cu1 fork, hind wings with 6th anal vein fused to wing margin,…
The family Elmidae Curtis, 1830, is one of most diverse families of aquatic beetles in the world, with nearly 1500 species in 147 genera and cosmopolitan distribution. The family has both larvae and adult aquatics, and the greatest diversity occurs in streams from mountains of tropical and subtropical regions. The Elminae subfamily has the greatest richness of genera, including Hexacylloe…
