The second large publication of the 1950's was the work of Mosely and 

 Kimmins (1953) on the Trichoptera of Australia and New Zealand. The 

 authors added 3 new families;* they dealt only with adult Trichoptera, except 

 for 1 larva described by Ulmer (Ph il a ni su s plebeius). The work 

 of McFarlane (1951) includes a description of the larvae of the subfamily 

 Hydrobiosinae (Rhyacophilidae) which is richly represented in the Australian 

 region; the publications of Kimmins (1959) and Neboiss (1957, 1962) on the 

 adults of this subfamily supplement the work of Mosely and Kimmins. 



The work of Mosely and Kimmins has a somewhat archaic appearance, 

 as it gives the descending order of families in the suborders of Kolenati, 

 Inaequipalpia and Aequipalpia. 



In the first volume of his catalog of Trichoptera, Fischer (i960: 1—2)** 

 accepts the suborder Annulipalpia and Integripalpia as corresponding to 

 modern knowledge. On the other hand, he states about the suborders of 

 Kolenati: "Some names created for groups of families, not in accordance 

 with the suborders now accepted" (Fischer, 1960:2). 



The older division into suborders based on the larvae and pupae agree 

 with recent systematics, which are based on phylogenetic relationships and 

 not on a division of the order based on single character of the adult. 

 140 Navas (1924:1—2) stated that there are 1,600 species of Trichoptera. 



Fischer (1944:58—60) stated that there are 3,447 species^ distributed among 

 the families as follows: 



Philorheithridae 4 



Odomoceridae 42 



Molannidae 19 



Leptoceridae 478 



Phryganeidae 76 



Kitagamiidae 4 



Limnophilidae 611 



Sericostomatidae 375 



Incerta sedis 2 





151 





43 



Polycentropodidae . . . 



236 





137 





587

358

The number of species recorded for the various families increased in 

 the following years by the description of new species and decreased by 

 synonymy. Fischer lists the following distribution of species, until 1938, in 

 vol. 1 and 2 of the catalog: Rhyacophilidae tt — 362 species; Philopotamidae 

 151 species; Hydroptilidae — 208 species. He gives the following 

 distribution of species in vol. 2 until 1940; Stenopsychidae — 47 species; 

 he lists the following distribution until 1940 in vol. 3: Psychomyiidae — 

 142 species;ttt Polycentropodidae — 229 species; he lists 646 species for 

 Hydropsychidae and 20 species for Arctopsychidae in vol.4 until 1944. 



* See p. 142. 



** Volumes2and 3 of this catalog were published in 1961 and 1962 (Fischer, 1961, 1962), volume 4 in 

 August 1963. 



Fischer's catalog (Trichopterorum Catalogus) facilitated the study of the order. It will consist of 

 11 volumes and 4 supplements. Volumes 1—4 include the Annulipalpia; the literature published until 

 1938 is listed for most families; the literature until 1940 is given for the family Stenopsychidae; the 

 literature for the Hydropsychidae and Arctopsychidae is given until 1944. Volumes 5—11 will include 

 the Integripalpia and may include literature published from 1944—1957. Volumes 12—15 will contain 

 supplements; they will include the literature until 1960. The catalog is planned to be completed in 1972. 

 t Fischer mentions in a table 3,702 species for the world fauna of Trichoptera (including recent and fossil 



forms); in another place he mentions 255 fossil species, 

 tt Sensu lato, including the Glossosomatinae. The numbers indicate recent species; the fossil species quoted 



from Ross and Fischer's catalog have been excluded. 

 ttt According to the classification in the present book, this includes the Ecnomidae 43 and Psychomyiidae 99.
