2010 SOUTHEASTERN NATURALIST 9(2):201–236 Caddisfly (Trichoptera) Records for North Carolina David R. Lenat1,*, David E. Ruiter2, Charles R. Parker3, Jason L. Robinson4, Steven R. Beaty5, and Oliver S. Flint, Jr.6 Abstract - Information is presented on 348 Trichoptera (caddisfly) species recorded from North Carolina, including 76 new state records. This information includes distribution across 4 ecoregions, occurrence by stream size, and the 1st published North Carolina record for each species. Introduction North Carolina is an area with a diverse geography and geology, from the mountains in the western part of the state to the coastal plain in the east. A recent summary of these characteristics for North and South Carolina (Griffith et al. 2002) listed 31 ecoregions: 7 in the Piedmont, 7 in the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain, 4 in the Southeastern Plains, 9 in the Blue Ridge, and 2 in the Southern Coastal Plain. This geographical diversity is matched by a high diversity of aquatic insects (Brigham et al. 1982), and this information has been very useful in designating “High Quality Waters” or “Outstanding Resources Waters” (North Carolina DEHNR 1996) and in helping conservation organizations identify high priority areas (NC Natural Heritage Program 2004). Unzicker et al. (1982) provided a list of Trichoptera for both North and South Carolina, but did not make separate listings for either state. Michael Floyd (US Fish and Wildlife Service, Frankfort, KY unpubl. data) compiled a separate listing for the Trichoptera of each state, based largely on records at Clemson University. Recent publications that have contained NC caddis records include: DeWalt et al. 2007, Etnier et al. 1998, Glover and Floyd 2004, Morse and Lenat 2005, Parker 1998, Parker et al. 2007, Prather and Morse 2001, and Vineyard et al. 2005. This paper compiles these published and unpublished records as well as additional recent collections. Methods Sources used New collection records are based on six sources: Annual spring collecting trips (2003–2005) by Boris Kondratieff and Ralph Kirchner, often assisted by Robert Zuellig and David Lenat. 1Lenat Consulting Services, Inc., 3607 Corbin Street, Raleigh, NC 27612. 26260 South Grant Street, Centennial, CO 80121. 3US Geological Survey, 1316 Cherokee Orchard Road, Gatlinburg, TN 37738. 4Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, 425 Hesler Hall, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996. 5North Carolina Division of Water Quality, 3800 Barrett Drive, Raleigh, NC 27609. 6Smithsonian Institution, PO Box 37012, MRC 169, Washington, DC 20013. *Corresponding author - Lenatbks@ mindspring.com. 202 Southeastern Naturalist Vol. 9, No. 2 Collections (larvae only) by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) to evaluate water quality and habitat quality in North Carolina streams and rivers. These collections cover most of the state, although they rarely include any first order streams. All samples are stored in their Raleigh offices, so that records can be verified. Figure 1.

Deposition of specimens Specimens are deposited at the University of Tennessee, Colorado State University, NC Division of Water Quality, National Museum of Natural History, and the authors’ personal collections. Specimens from the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Guilford Courthouse National Military Park are stored in the Mammoth Cave National Park collection. Specimens from Great Smoky Mountains National Park are stored in that park’s collection. Results The summary list of NC Trichoptera is presented in Appendix 1, with data on ecoregion (Mountain, Piedmont, Sandhills, and Coastal Plain) and stream size (springs/seeps, streams, and rivers). A visual sampling of some of the species is shown in Figures 1 and 2. The division between streams and rivers is arbitrarily set at a width of about 20 meters. Where a species can be identified from larvae, the DWQ data (see above) give a good picture of geographic distribution within NC (see 140 distribution maps presented in Supplementary Appendix, available online at http://www.eaglehill. us/SENAonline/suppl-files/s9-2-792-Lenat-s1, and, for BioOne subscribers, at http://dx.doi.org/10.1656/S781.s1). For species that require identification of adults, however, the data are often very patchy. Ecoregion information was also taken from Unzicker et al. (1982), but they included the sandhills within the coastal plain ecoregion, and much of their information came from South Carolina records. Appendix 1 also gives the 1st record for each caddisfly species in North Carolina. If the original species description does not include NC records, the appropriate citation is given in the comments column. The original species description will not be included in the list of references if it did not include North Carolina data. The rarity of many caddisfly species can be hard to determine, especially if a species can only be identified in the adult stage, since the numerous State collections focus only on larval material. Many parts of North Carolina have very few adult collections; thus we may present some new state records for species that may actually be fairly common. For species that can be reliably identified in the larval stage, the maps given here provide a good indication of distribution. Also, note that a species may be “rare” in North Carolina, but more common elsewhere. This is especially true for species that are at the edge of their geographic range. For example, larvae in the genus Frenesia (2 species) are common in springs of the northeastern United States, but reach their southern limit in North Carolina and are rarely collected there. The presence of rare species can be quite useful in identifying high quality streams and in protecting water quality. For example, the presence of rare species is a “resource value” that can be used in designating outstanding resource 2010 D.R. Lenat, D.E. Ruiter, C.R. Parker, J.L. Robinson, S.R. Beaty, and O.S. Flint, Jr. 205 waters (ORW) in North Carolina. The ORW designation then imposes more stringent water quality protection. The NC Natural Heritage Program maintains an inventory of rare species, including many caddisfly species. The most current version of this list (Legrand et al. 2008) may be viewed by going to http://www.ncnhp.org and checking under the “publications” link. For caddisflies, they list five North Carolina endemics, 36 significantly rare species, and an additional 59 species placed on a “watch list”. We have tried to locate all the collections which Unzicker et al. (1982) may have based North Carolina records upon, although they did not provide separate listings for North and South Carolina. The collections at the Illinois Natural History Survey, National Museum of Natural History, University of Tennessee, and Clemson University have been examined. Information is presented here on 348 Trichoptera found in North Carolina. Similar numbers of caddisfly species have been found in Virginia (361; Flint et al. 2004, 2008, 2009) and Tennessee (328; Etnier et al. 1998). Etnier et al. (1998) listed a total of 383 species found in Tennessee and bordering states, but we have tabulated here only the number of caddisfly species actually found in Tennessee. The North Carolina data include 76 new state records. Discussion Of New Records By Family Format for records: site, county, date (month/year). Additional collection details for specific species may be requested from the senior author. Glossosomatidae Glossosomatid larvae make dome-shaped cases, usually with ventral anterior and posterior openings. Wiggins (1996) compares these cases to the shell of a tortoise. The larvae are found on the top and sides of rocks, but may often be missed by quantitative invertebrate sampling. Larvae are found throughout the piedmont and mountains regions, but tend to segregate by stream size, with Agapetus usually in smaller streams and Culoptila/Protoptila in larger streams and rivers. As all larvae are grazers, they can often increase under moderate enrichment, especially Glossosoma nigrior. Agapetus. Unzicker et al. (1982) listed only A. iridus and A. rossi for the Carolinas; Michael Floyd (unpubl. data) added A. jocassee for North Carolina. This genus is under-collected due to spring emergence and a limitation to small streams for most species. Work by David Etnier (University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN) has greatly expanded the number of Agapetus known from North Carolina, often from live pupae that were reared to the adult stage. Larval data from the North Carolina’s Biological Assessment Unit (at the generic level) has sometimes provided valuable leads for further work by Dr. Etnier, especially where there appeared to be disjunct records. A. hessi. Pupae were collected and reared from a coastal plain site: Swift Creek, Nash, 4/02. This is the only North Carolina record for this widespread eastern species. 206 Southeastern Naturalist Vol. 9, No. 2 A. minutus. Big Creek tributary, Haywood, 5/98. This species is also known north to Ontario, Canada and west to Tennessee and West Virginia. A. tomus. Arrow Wood Road, Cherokee, 5/00. Culoptila. DWQ biologists have larval records for this genus from about 10 sites, including the New River, South Fork New River, and North Fork New River in Ashe and Alleghany counties. Other caddisfly lists for the southeast (M. Floyd, unpubl. data) assumed these records were for C. thoracica. Blahnick and Holzenthal (2006) revised the North American Culoptila and erected a new species (C. plummerensis) for most eastern populations, previously called C. cantha. Recent adult collections of C. plummerensis were made from the Johns River (Caldwell, 5/06). Protoptila. DWQ has many larval records for Protoptila, but adults are required for species-level identification. New records include: P. georgiana. Uwharrie River, Montgomery, 5/04; Cape Fear River, Harnett, 5/05; Hunting Creek, Iredell, 5/04. This rare species was previously known from Alabama, Georgia, and Virginia. Flint et al. (2004) indicated that this species is common in the Virginia piedmont. P. lega. A widespread species, but rarely collected throughout its range. Mayo River, Rockingham, 7/07. P. maculata. This species is quite widespread in the northeastern US, but this is a southern range extension: Watauga River, Watauga, 7/07. P. morettii. Little River, Harnett/Cumberland, 5/06. This is a sandhills species, previously known only from South Carolina. Hydroptilidae The small larvae (less than 5 mm) usually make purse-shaped cases and are easily overlooked in collections of aquatic macroinvertebrates due to their small size, tightly-attached cases, and cryptic habitats. Although adult Hydroptilidae are often collected near streams and rivers, their exact larval microhabitats are usually unknown, especially in the genus Hydroptila. Some genera are primarily found in ponds and lakes, including Hydroptila (in part), Oxyethira, and Orthotrichia. Due to relatively few collections of adult Hydroptilidae in North Carolina, this family remains poorly known. For this reason, we usually cannot provide habitat data at the species level. Agraylea sp. There are no prior North Carolina or South Carolina records for this genus. Larvae were collected in Wilson Creek below the gorge (Caldwell, 7/04). Hydroptila. There are many Hydroptila species recorded in South Carolina and Tennessee (M. Floyd, unpubl. data), but not yet seen in North Carolina. For this reason, we expect further additions to the North Carolina fauna. H. alabama. Lower Shope Fork, Macon, 7/91; Davidson River, Transylvania, 5/56 (both in USNM collection). H. ampoda. GSMNP, Smokemont Campground, 5/70; Deep Creek campground, Swain, 07/05; stream on Norton Creek Road, Jackson, 7/08; 2010 D.R. Lenat, D.E. Ruiter, C.R. Parker, J.L. Robinson, S.R. Beaty, and O.S. Flint, Jr. 207 Horsepasture River tributary on US 64, Jackson, 5/08; Norton Creek, Jackson, 5/08; Edwards Creek, Macon, 5/08 and 7/08; Turtle Pond Creek, Macon, 5/08; stream in Botanical Gardens of the Highland Biological Station, Macon, 5/08; Big Creek, Macon, 5/08. These records are a southern range extension. H. armata. Uwharrie Creek, Montgomery, 5/04. This is a widespread eastern species. H. delineata. French Broad River, Buncombe, 7/07; Oconaluftee River, Swain, 7/99; Little Tennessee River, Swain/Macon, 7/77; Horsepasture River tributary on US 64, Jackson, 5/08; Edwards Creek, Macon, 7/08. This is an eastern species. H. lloganae. Lumber River, Scotland, 5/04. This rare species has also been collected in Florida, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Texas. H. maculata. Lake Waccamaw, Columbus, 4/99. A southern range extension. H. remita. Cataloochee Creek, Haywood, 7/88; by Rough Fork, nr Woody Homestead, Haywood, 7/88; stream on Norton Creek Road, Jackson, 7/08; Horsepasture River, Jackson, 5/08; Norton Creek, Jackson, 5/08; Edwards Creek, Macon, 5/08; Turtle Pond Creek, Macon, 7/08. This is a widespread eastern species. H. waubesiana. French Broad River, Buncombe, 7/07; Tar River, Edgecombe, 7/07; Big Creek, Haywood, 7/86, Oconaluftee River, Swain, 7/99; Cullasaja River, Macon, 5/08. This is a widespread eastern species. Neotrichia sp. DWQ has larvae from 12 sites, mostly piedmont rivers, although no adults are known from North Carolina. Four species are reported from South Carolina: N. collata Morton 1905, N. falca Ross 1938, N. minutisimella (Chambers 1873), and N. vibrans Ross 1938. Virginia records are mostly N. vibrans (Flint et al. 2004). Orthotrichia cristata. North shore of Lake Waccamaw, Columbus, 09/92. Oxyethira. Many species in this genus are limited to ponds and lakes, and they are poorly represented in collections from North Carolina. There are at least 9 species of Oxyethira known from South Carolina, but not yet collected in North Carolina (M. Floyd, unpubl. data). O. glasa. Lake Waccamaw, Columbus, 9/82. This is a northern range extension. O. janella. Tar River, Edgecombe, 7/07. This is a mostly southeastern species, with a northern limit in Virginia. O. novasota. Norton Creek, Jackson, 6/08. O. pallida. Shelley Lake, Wake, 6/90; Tar River, Edgecombe, 7/07. This is a widespread eastern species. O. pescadori. Little River, Hoke/Moore, 5/04. This is northern range extension; reported distribution is from the coastal plain of Alabama and Florida (Harris and Keth 2002). 208 Southeastern Naturalist Vol. 9, No. 2 O. verna. Lake Waccamaw, Columbus, 9/83. This is a widespread eastern species. Stactobiella palmata. Uwharrie River, Montgomery, 5/86. This is a southern range extension of a widespread species. Rhyacophilidae (Rhyacophila) Most species in this family are both predacious and free-living as larvae. The greatest diversity in North Carolina is found in small mountain streams, with 4–5 species often found at high quality sites. Larval descriptions are not available for some rare species, but the recent review of this genus by Prather and Morse (2001) (as updated and corrected by Stocks and Morse at http://entweb.clemson.edu/research/CEL/rhyacophila. htm) provides a wealth of data for the eastern Rhyacophila. An additional species is being described by Jim Glover (SC Department of Health and Environmental Control Columbus, SC) from the coastal plain of South Carolina (Glover, in prep.). DWQ has larval records for this undescribed species from Robeson, Columbus, Brunswick, and Pender counties that are listed as R. lobifera. DWQ has larval records for R. mainensis, but the most recent revision (Prather and Morse 2001) indicated that the larvae of R. amicis are not separable from the larvae of R. mainensis, and that R. amicis is more likely to occur in North Carolina. Rhyacophalia kondratieffi. High-elevation seep on Blue Ridge Parkway 3/07, Buncombe. Formerly known only from Virginia and Tennessee (Flint et al. 2004). R. tricornuta. Previously known only from Mt. Rogers area in Virginia. Gragg Prong of Lost Cove Creek, Avery, 4/07. Hydropsychidae All hydropsychid larvae are filter-feeders, although filtered material can vary in size from nanoplankton up to small macroinvertebrates. Species within a basin segregate based on food size (mesh size of nets), current speed, and stream size. Genera most commonly associated with small streams include Diplectrona, Parapsyche, Oropsyche (rare), and Homoplectra (rare). Pollution tolerance varies greatly within this family. The greatest hydropsychid diversity is seen at riverine sites. A number of larval types can be seen within Diplectrona modesta; some of these may represent new species (J. Morse, Clemson University, Clemson, SC, pers. comm.). Cheumatopsyche. Many species are known only as adults, therefore they have been poorly evaluated by DWQ larval collections. There is some confusion in prior records over Cheumatopsyche enigma, which is also listed as Cheumatopsyche harwoodi enigma, and possibly as just Cheumatopsyche harwoodi. We list this species as C. enigma. C. geora. Hunting Creek, Wilkes, 5/05; Little River, Harnett/Cumberland, 5/05. Widespread eastern species. 2010 D.R. Lenat, D.E. Ruiter, C.R. Parker, J.L. Robinson, S.R. Beaty, and O.S. Flint, Jr. 209 C. halima. Deep Creek, Swain, 8/99; Middle Fork Reddings River, Wilkes, 5/06. This species is reported from 10 other states in the eastern US. C. parentum. Uwharrie River, Montgomery, 5/04. Prior records are limited to Maryland and Virginia, although Flint et al. (2004) speculated that it would be found in NC. C. richardsoni. Little River, Hoke/Montgomery, 5/04, This species appears to be limited to North Carolina and South Carolina. C. virginica. Little River, Cumberland/Harnett, 5/04. C. wrighti. Lower Shope Fork (Coweeta), Macon, 7/91, USNM collection. Hydropsyche. Ceratopsyche is used by some authors at the genus or subgenus level, but we follow Olah and Johanson (2008) and place all North Carolina Hydropsyche within a single genus, Hydropsyche. Hydropsyche alvata. Roanoke River, Halifax, 5/84. H. cheilonis. Larvae of this species are labeled as H. bifida by DWQ biologists, but discussion in Schuster and Etnier (1978) strongly suggested that this species is H. cheilonis. DWQ had numerous records in six counties in the northwest corner of the state, especially in the New and Watauga basins. The identity of these specimens was confirmed by adult collections in Swain and Watauga counties. H. fattigi. Cape Fear River, Harnett, 5/04; Hunting Creek, Iredell, 5/04; Linville River, Burke, 5/06; Watauga River, Watauga, 7/07. H. incommoda. DWQ has many larval records for H. incommoda for rivers in the upper piedmont, piedmont and coastal plain ecoregions that are probably H. rossi and/or other closely related species. Flint et al. (1979) pointed out the problems with use of H. incommoda records, indicating that specimens previously labeled as H. orris were actually H. incommoda and that H. orris does not occur east of the Appalachian mountains. DWQ has many larval NC records of the “true” H. incommoda from piedmont and coastal plain rivers. H. opthalmica. Watauga River, Watauga, 7/07; Cape Fear River, Harnett, 5/04. Southern range extension of this riverine species. H. simulans. Lumber River, Hoke/Scotland, 7/07. This is a southern and eastern range extension; data from other states suggest that it would also occur in mountain rivers. H. walkeri. DWQ has larval records (confirmed by G. Schuster, Eastern Kentucky University, Richmond, KY) from Beech Creek, Watauga, 8/94, 7/99, and 8/04. This is a southern range extension. Philopotamidae All Philopotamidae are filter-feeders, and require flowing water. Although they often occupy the same habitat as Hydropsychidae, they usually feed on smaller particle sizes. Of the three genera commonly found in North Carolina, Dolophilodes is most common in mountain streams, Chimarra is most common in piedmont and sandhills streams, while Wormaldia is limited to seeps, springs, and 1st order streams. Note that two species formerly in Dolophilodes have been split off into the genera Sisko and Fumonta (Blahnik 2005). 210 Southeastern Naturalist Vol. 9, No. 2 Chimarra spp. Previously three species of Chimarra had been reported in North Carolina. New North Carolina records include: C. augusta. Linville Falls, Avery County, 5/70, USNM collection. C. florida. Little R, Hoke/Moore 5/04; Shoe Hill Creek, Robeson, 5/03; Naked Creek, Richmond, 5/03. C. obscura. This is a relatively common US species, but had not been reported from North Carolina. We have records from Edwards Creek, Macon, 5/08; Uwharrie River, Montgomery, 5/03; Hunting Creek, Iredell, 5/04; Lumber River, Hoke/Scotland, 5/03. Polycentropodidae Polycentropodidae are also filter-feeders, but can be found in some lentic habitats. Because larvae often cannot be identified to the species level, DWQ collections have not contributed to information on the geographic distribution of species in some genera, especially Polycentropus and Neureclipsis. Unusual larvae have been reported from both high mountain seeps and coastal plain swamps (DWQ, unpubl. data). Cernotina calcea. Lake Waccamaw, Columbus, 9/82. This is a midwestern species, although it occurs along the gulf coastal area in Florida, Louisiana, and Alabama. Neureclipsis melco. Shoe Hill Creek, US 501, Robeson, 5/03; Hunting Creek, Guilford, 5/07. Northern range extension. Nyctiophylax denningi. Near Price Lake, Watauga, 5/05; Edwards Creek, Macon, 5/08 and 7/08; Big Creek, Macon, 5/08; Norton Creek, Jackson, 5/08. Polycentropus barri. Buncombe, 4 km SW of Black Mountain, 6/86, USNM collection. P. blicklei. A widespread eastern species, but not previously reported in North Carolina. Spring at N Loop Road (Greensboro), Guilford, 8/05, and McKee Branch, Haywood, 7/01. P. carlsoni. Headwater of Gilliland Creek along Mt Sterling Trail, Haywood 6/89. Confined to Alabama, North Carolina, and South Carolina. P. elarus. Unnamed creek on Blue Ridge Parkway, Ashe, 7/07; Poplar Springs, Jackson, 5/08. A widespread eastern species. P. interruptus. Black Mountain, USNM collection, 1929 P. nascotius. Bass Lake, Watauga, Blue Ridge Parkway, 7/07. P. rickeri. Seeps on Blue Ridge Parkway: Buncombe, 7/07 and Watauga 3/07. Brachycentridae This family is well known, with extensive work by Flint (1984) on Brachycentrus and Chapin (1978) on Micrasema. Harrington and Morse (2004) recently added Brachycentrus lunatus to the list of southeastern species. DWQ maps for both Brachycentrus nigrosoma and B. numerosus show 2010 D.R. Lenat, D.E. Ruiter, C.R. Parker, J.L. Robinson, S.R. Beaty, and O.S. Flint, Jr. 211 two distinct distributions: mountains (including the upper piedmont) and coastal plain. This pattern suggests the possibility of additional undescribed species. Most brachycentrids are highly intolerant, and high quality river sites may have 5+ species in this family. Brachycentrus etowahensis. The Flint (1984) monograph on Brachycentrus showed several records from Tennessee that were just south of the Tennessee/North Carolina border. Re-examination of stored larval specimens showed that this species was found in the Hiawassee River, Cherokee, 8/85. However, this species has not been collected recently in North Carolina. B. incanus. This species was originally reported from North Carolina by Lenat and Penrose (1987) (Tar River, coastal plain), but this record was shown to be an error. Subsequent DWQ collections, however, have turned up larval specimens at the Little Tennessee River, Macon, 7/04, and the Yadkin River, Yadkin, 8/06. Goeridae The goerids are a small group in North America with two genera and seven species in North Carolina. Goera stylata. Commissioners Creek, Macon, 4/03. Southern range extension. Lepidostomatidae Lepidostoma larvae can be found in most small mountain streams, but there are no larval keys for North Carolina species. Lepidostoma sommermanae. Seep on Blue Ridge Parkway, Buncombe, 7/07. This is a southern range extension for this northeastern US species. Leptoceridae Clemson University has long been a center for leptocerid research, producing major revisions for Ceraclea (Morse 1975), Oecetis (Floyd 1995b), Triaenodes (Glover 1996) and Nectopsyche (Glover and Floyd 2004). These authors collected throughout the southeast, adding many North Carolina records. Many leptocerid species, however, are associated with lentic habitats and not well-collected by DWQ biologists. Ceraclea. This is a genus with many rare species; many of these also have very restricted distributions. Taxonomic problems make many of the older larval DWQ records questionable, especially for C. nepha and C. tarsipunctata. There remain a number of undescribed Ceraclea species in North Carolina, with up to 3 new species being described by Jim Glover and John Morse. One of the new species has been found only in streams in Panthertown Valley, Jackson County, NC. A second species occurs in coastal plain swamp streams, including 2 locations in the southern part of North Carolina; this species has been labeled by DWQ biologists as “Ceraclea nr. tarsipunctata”. DWQ biologists routinely collect another larvae type they label as “Ceraclea nr. excisa” in the sandhills and coastal plain ecoregions, but this larva has 212 Southeastern Naturalist Vol. 9, No. 2 not been associated with any described adult. It is possible that these specimens are the larvae of C. protonepha. Ceraclea transversa appears to be a complex of species based on male morphology and preliminary DNA work (J. Glover and J. Morse, pers. comm.). Ceraclea cancellata. Little River, Hoke/Montgomery, 5/04; Fishing Creek, Edgecombe, 5/05; and Tar River, Granville, 5/86. We also have larvae from Little River (Wake) verified by J. Morse. C. neffi. Some larval records of C. neffihave been shown to be misidentifications of C. flava, but we have verified larval records from Calor Fork, Macon, 5/08 and First Broad River, Cleveland, 10/93. These collections are a southern range extension for this species. C. ophioderus. This species occurs on snags in some coastal plain rivers. Large numbers of larvae were found by DWQ biologists on snags in the Tar River (Edgecombe), Roanoke River (Halifax), and the Neuse River (Johnston, Lenoir). Reared specimens from the Tar River were confirmed as C. ophioderus by J. Glover, and adults have been collected (7/07) from the Lumber River (Hoke), Mayo River (Rockingham), and the Johns River (Caldwell). These latter records extend the range of this species into the foothills. C. protonepha. Adults were collected at Trout Lake, Blue Ridge Prkway, Watauga County. C. punctata. Adults were collected from Little River, Hoke/Moore, 5/04. This is a southern range extension. C. resurgens. Larvae of C. resurgens are sponge-feeders; separation from C. transversa can be difficult. DWQ has larval records from many sites in the piedmont and coastal plain, but re-examination of the specimens indicates that many are C. transversa and some may be an undescribed species. Larvae matching Resh’s (1976) description were collected at Gum Swamp, Scotland, 2/01 and Hannah Creek, Johnston, 2/05. C. slossonae. Very rare in North Carolina; larvae collected by DWQ in summer collections from North Fork New River and South Fork New River (Ashe, 3 sites). Adults were also collected from South Fork New River, Ashe, 5/05. Mystacides. Larvae of all Mystacides collected in the Carolinas key to the western M. alafimbriata in Yamamoto and Wiggins (1964), but adults appear to be M. sepulchralis. We assume here that M. sepulchralis is the species found in North Carolina, although it may eventually be shown to be a new species. Nectopsyche pavida. This common riverine species has no published North Carolina records, but DWQ has larval data from over 35 counties. Adults were collected from Little River, Hoke/Moore, 5/04 and Price Lake, Watauga, 7/07. Oecetis sp. E. Larvae of this species were described by Floyd (1995b), but were found only in a few Carolina Bays in South Carolina. Larval collections by DWQ biologists have found this species in 9 coastal counties 2010 D.R. Lenat, D.E. Ruiter, C.R. Parker, J.L. Robinson, S.R. Beaty, and O.S. Flint, Jr. 213 in the Chowan, Cape Fear, Lumber, White Oak, and Neuse river basins. These collections were mostly from February sampling of swamp streams. Setodes arenatus. This species was known only from the coastal plain in South Carolina. We have a new collection from the Little River, Hoke/ Moore, 5/04. It is possible that Setodes larvae from the Lumber River at Wagram also are this species (Scotland, 6/86). Triaenodes. The genus Triaenodes was thoroughly reviewed by Glover (1996), and this work included extensive collection in North Carolina and review of larval specimens collected by DWQ biologists. Early DWQ records for T. tardus larvae appear to be misidentifications of T. ignitus larvae. T. sp. nov. A (Glover 1996). Drowning Creek, SR 1004, Richmond, 4/07. T. sp. nov. C (Glover 1996). Very rare (NC/SC), the only North Carolina records were from Laurinburg Bays, Scotland, 5/84. This species may have been extirpated from the Laurinburg Bays (not found on subsequent trips), but larvae were found in 17 Frog Pond, Sandhills Game Management Area, Scotland, 4/04. Limnephilidae This large, primarily northern-distributed, family has relatively few species in North Carolina. Frenesia missa. Larvae of this species are found in springs along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, but the first North Carolina record was an adult from Purchase Knob, Haywood, 11/03. Pycnopsyche circularis. Headwater spring at Wash Hollow, Haywood, 7/07. Southern range extension for this northeastern species. P. conspersa. Cataloochee Creek, Haywood, 07/88; Seep on Blue Ridge Parkway, Haywood, 7/07. P. indiana. US 74 and NC 710, Robeson, 10/81. Sericostomatidae Only two genera in this family are found in North Carolina: Fattigia pele is a common inhabitant of mountain streams, but Agarodes is both more widespread and less frequently collected. Agarodes libalis. Little River, Harnett/Cumberland, 5/06. Uenoidae Neophylax. This genus was recently revised by Vineyard et al. (2005), and we add two additional species for North Carolina. Many of the distribution maps provided in Vineyard et al. (2005) suggest some species are largely confined to the mountains, but DWQ larval data show more extensions into the piedmont and sandhills. DWQ has larval records for N. concinnus, but re-examination of these specimens indicates these determinations are incorrect. N. atlanta. Unnamed stream, Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, Guilford, 3/06. This record falls between the Georgia, South Carolina, 214 Southeastern Naturalist Vol. 9, No. 2 and Virginia records of Vineyard et al. (2005), although Flint et al. (2008) indicate that the Virginia record is an error. N. fuscus. Little Fishing Creek, Halifax, 8/88 (larvae); South Fork New River, Ashe, 8/95. These records are a southern range extension for this species. The presence of this species in the coastal plain (Little Fishing Creek) supports Vineyard’s et al. (2005) observation that this species is the best adapted of the genus to warm water conditions. Literature Cited Armitage, B.J. 1991. Diagnostic Atlas of the North American Caddisfly Adults. I.
