 Site Editor Plano, TXPosts: 1311 | Lufi- Here is a preliminary identification of your photos: sup guys, I´m new here used to live in Jersey for 11 years now i moved to Brazil and been fishing here and there..... Lloyd will likely identify some of them to a lower level for you. | |

Site Editor "Bear Swamp," PAPosts: 1681 | Thanks for posting Lufi's pictures, Roger. Here are a few off-the-cuff guesses from someone who doesn't know his South American insects: Photo #1--Looks like a green lacewing (Chrysopidae). Photo #2--Possibly a free-living(?) caddisfly larva. Photos #3+4--A stonefly nymph of unknown family/genus. (Looks like a perlid, but I can't find the thoracic gills that should be present even in SA genera like Anacroneuria, Enderleina, or Macrogynoplax.) Photo #5--Looks like one of the aquatic Hemiptera, something similar to our giant water bugs or "toe-biters." Photos #6+7+8--A male mayfly imago of unknown family/genus, probably the same species as the female subimago in photos #11+12. Photos #9+10--A (probably female) mayfly imago, possibly a baetid. Photos #11+12--A female mayfly subimago of unknown family/genus. Photo #13--A mayfly nymph of unknown family/genus. (Looks somewhat like our Ephemerellidae, but I can't see any platelike gills along the abdomen.) Photos #14+15--A stonefly nymph of unknown family/genus. Photo #16--A (probably female) midge (Chironomidae). Sorry for not adding much, Roger and Lufi, but that's about the best I can do. | |

| Grants Pass, OR Posts: 302 | For the caddis I wouldn't go with a free-living taxa. I would stick with Roger's hydropsychid suggestion. This larva looks like it has ventral, but not dorsal, gills; perhaps meso/meta thoracic sclerites; and the anal prolegs look too long for a hydrobiosid. But, I sure wouldn't bet a beer on it, and I am pretty easy about giving away beers. Did ya keep it, or do you have better pictures of it? | |

| Brazil Posts: 9 | thanks Gonzo!!! this place where I took these pics: Trout was introduced during the 40s and now they are naturaly reproducing it was end of winter, water was between 49 to 55 F they just spawned, no stream pressure ;) couldnt be better, we are trying to organise our grupe here to try to keep that place the way it is for many years to come ;)  | |

 Moderator Palmyra PAPosts: 3044 | Underwater nymph standards should do well: Pheasant tails and hare's ears. On top, parachutes are good for mayflies if you have to limit the list. Smaller hackles are good for duns, and sparse longer hackles will work for spinners. | |

Site Editor Plano, TXPosts: 1311 | Lufi- Had been intending to do this for quite some time. You might be interested in using the new S. American Mayfly Distribution Query which I just created. | |

| Grants Pass, OR Posts: 302 | Roger - you goin to try and enter the Neotropical caddis data as well? If so, please let us know when that site is up :) Lufi - you responded to the hydropsychid/rhyacophilid comment with an "ir" - I am sorry I don't know know, but what is an "ir"? | |

Site Editor Plano, TXPosts: 1311 | Hi Dave- Sure, if you can provide me with access to a digitized scientific paper which lists all the Neotropical caddisfly species by S. American country, I would be happy to do the same with it as I did with the mayflies. However, the mayfly species were not key entered. Rather, the list was copied from the referenced (pdf) article, and pasted to an Excel spreadsheet in order to parse and collate the information, and was then loaded into a MySQL database in order to provide query access. Key entering voluminous taxonomic information would not only be excessively tedious, but would also introduce error, particularly if done by "clumsy fingers" like mine. | |

Site Editor Plano, TXPosts: 1311 | Lufi,Photos #14+15--A stonefly nymph of unknown family/genus. Family ID is Gripopterygidae. Just received confirmation from from Dr. Ed DeWalt. Incidentally, Brazil is a rather large country. In which state were your photos taken? | |
