“…Morphological terminology for male genitalia was adapted from Blahnik and Holzenthal (2006 ; 2008 ), Holzenthal (2004) , Holzenthal and Blahnik (2006) , and Morse (1988) . Terminology for specific structures of male genitalia, as homologized in this study, is indicated in Figures 4 – 25 .…”

Systematics of the genus Itauara Müller, 1888 are reviewed. A generic diagnosis, illustrations, and descriptions are provided for males. The genus can be identified by several features of the male genitalia including an extremely reduced phallobase and a phallic apparatus that consists of a sclerotized dorsal sheath covering a very membranous ventral portion. A total 18 species are described as new: Itauara alexanderi sp. n.(Brazil), Itaura bidentata sp. n. (Guyana), Itaura blahniki sp. n. (Brazil) Itaura charlotta sp. n. (Brazil), Itaura emilia sp. n. (Brazil), Itaura flinti sp. n. (Brazil), Itaura guyanensis sp. n. (Guyana), Itaura jamesii sp. n. (Brazil), Itaura julia sp. n. (Brazil), Itaura lucinda sp. n. (Brazil), Itaura ovis sp. n. (Guyana, Venezuela), Itaura peruensis sp. n. (Peru), Itaura rodmani sp. n. (Brazil), Itaura simplex sp. n. (Brazil), Itaura spiralis sp. n. (Guyana), Itaura stella sp. n. (Brazil), Itaura tusci sp. n. (Brazil), and Itaura unidentata sp. n. (Guyana). These additions bring the total fauna of Itauara to 22 species.

“…Compared with recent forms (Blahnik & Holzenthal 2006), the first fossil species of the genus Culoptila is characterized by diagnostic male genitalic structures typical for the genus: the rounded posterodorsal apex of the phallobase enclosing 2 phallic spines and an additional spine, the apparent absence of sternum IX, the projecting tergum X, and the long spatulate inferior appendages. Considering all genitalic characters and their modifications, a close relationship to one of the described, extant species in difficult to establish.…”

“…The glossosomatid genus Culoptila Mosely (type species: Culoptila aluca Mosely) is largely endemic to Central America, but also occurs in the United States (Blahnik & Holzenthal 2006). In the Neotropics it is distributed in Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Honduras (Blahnik & Holzenthal 2006, Flint et al 1999. The genus is probably closely related to Campsiophora and Cariboptila, both endemic to the Greater Antilles.…”

The first 4 new species of caddisflies (Trichoptera) are described from Mexican amber: Culoptila aguilerai n. sp. (Glossosomatidae), Plectropsyche alvarezi n. sp. (Hydropsychidae), Antillopsyche mexicana n. sp. (Dipseudopsidae), and Xiphocentron chiapasi n. sp. (Xiphocentronidae). Culoptila, Plectropsyche, and Xiphocentron are typical members of the Neotropical fauna and the fauna of Mexico; they now are also represented in Miocene Mexican amber. The genus Antillopsyche, previously known from the Greater Antilles and from Dominican amber, is now reported from Mexican amber.

The Neotropical caddisfly (Trichoptera) fauna is cataloged from a review of over 1,000 literature citations through 2015 (partial 2016) to include 3,262 currently recognized, valid species-group names in 25 families and 155 extant genera. Fourteen subspecies are included in the total as well as 35 fossil species and 1 fossil genus. The region covered includes all of Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. Genus-group and species-group synonyms are listed. For each nominal species, information on the type locality, type depository, sex of type, distribution by country, and other pertinent taxonomic or biological information is included. Summary information on taxonomy, phylogeny, distribution, immature stages, and biology are provided for each family and genus where known. An extensive index to all nominal taxa is included to facilitate use of the catalog. The glossosomatid species Mexitrichia usseglioi Rueda Martín & Gibon, is transferred to Mortoniella comb. n.
