ABSTRACT. Five new species of SlIlicridea McLachlan, 197 1, are described and illustrated for specimens collected during entomological in ve ntories in the states of Espfrito Santo, Goias, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Parana (Brazil ). Four of these new species belong to the subgenus Rhyacophyhu' MUlier, 1879: S. (R.Jji'oehlichi, S. (R.J jUl/diai. S. (R.) mallgaratiba, S.(R.) ra/phi, and one to the subgenus Smicridea McLachlan, 187 1: S. (S.) lIlimae . KEY WORDS. Trichoptera, Smicridea , new species, Brazil , in ventory

Smicridea McLach lan, 1871 , is the most diverse and abundant genus so far recognized in the family Hydropsychidae, with more than 160 species descri­bed for the Neotropics (FLINT et al. 1999). This is the onl y genus of the subfam il y Hydropsychinae occurring in South America (FLI NT 1974), where still exists a scarcity of inventories of aquati c insects, and in parti cular, of Trichoptera (FLINT 1971,1978, 1992; OLIVEIRA & FROEHLICH 1997 ; ALMEIDA & MAR/NONI 2000; MAR/NONI & ALMEIDA 2000). The genus Smicridea compri ses two subgenera, Smicridea MacLchlan, 187 1, and Rhyacophylax MUll er, 1879 , which have been the subject of some studies in the Neotropics (FLI T 1967, 1972, 1974, 1978, 1981 , 1983, 1989, 1991 ; FLINT & DE /NG 1989; BLAH IK 1995 ; HOLZE 'THAL & BLAHNIK 1995).

Before the present paper, 30 described species of Smicridea had been recorded for Brazil (FLINT et al. 1999; MARi aNI & ALMEIDA 2000). 1 n this contribution , five new species are described , four of these species bel onging to the subgenus Rhyacophylax and one to the subgenus Smicridea: Smicridea (Rhyaco­phylax) froehlichi , Smicridea (Rhyacophylax) jundiai, Smicridea (Rhyacophylax) mangaratiba, Smicridea (Rhyacophylax) ralphi and Smicridea (Smicridea) mirnae. These species were collected during entomological inventories in the states of Espfrito Santo, Goias, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Parana. Specimens from southern Brazil were obtained after the entomological inventory, called PROFAU­PAR (Projeto de Levantamento da Fauna Entomol6gica no Estado do Parana),

Smicridea (Rhyacophylax) froehlichi sp. nov. Fig. 1 a-d

T his is a very dist inct spec ies, based on the structure of the phallus and not apparentl y c losely related to any other known spec ies in the subgenus. T he very broad basa l secti on of the phallus, the pointed, apicolateral lobes and lac k of apicomesal process but with long, slender more basal processes in the phallus give a most distincti ve appearance.

Male. Length of forewing 6.0-7.0 mm . Color overall ye ll owish brown; fo­rewing with light brown marks along chord , over radial and thyridi al nygmas, base of costal margin , and pterostigma, apex of wing with sli ghtly dark subterminal band. Sternum V in male with anterolateral glandular process slightl y longer than stern um. Genitali a as in figure I a-d . Segment IX with anterolateral margin produced into a large, rounded lobe, dorsomesally with a small prominence bearing spicules, ventromesal margin pOinted . Tergum X, in lateral view, with tip rounded; setose apicodorsally; venlrolateral margi n of X strongly sci erotized; apex of X di vided to about half- length of tergum. In ferior appendages two-segmented; basal segment long, sli ghtl y inflated mesally, covered with setae; apical segment short, apex slightly enlarged in dol' al view. Phallus tubular, basal section very enlarged and meeti ng apical section at about 7SO; apex of phallus with a pair of pointed lateral processes; intern al processes long, slender, and displaced basad; dorsal periphallic membranes absent.

Female. Length of forewing 4.0-7 .3 mm . Color and structure s imilar to male. Genita li a typical fo r genus.

Smicridea (Rhyacophy/ax) jundiai sp. nov. Fig. 2a-d

The similar appearance of the internal processes of the phallus shows a re lationship to S. (R. ) pallidivittata Fli nt, 1972. However, the apicolateral lobes of the phall us, very apparent in dorsal view, are totall y lacking in S. (R.) pallidiv ittata.

Male. Length of fo rew ing 4.0-4.5 mm . Color overall pale brown; forew ing with dark marks along chord and over radi al and thyridi al nygmas , apex of wing with a subtermi nal band of pale setae, bordered basa lly and apicall y by bands of slightly darker setae.

Etymology . The spec ies is named for the loca lity of lundiaf where paratype pecimens were co ll ected.

Smicridea (Rhyacophy/ax) mangaratiba sp. nov. Fig.3a-d

Thi spec ies would appear to be most closely related to S. (R. ) ralphi , new species, on the basis of the shared apomorphy of the ap ically upturned , mesal, internal process of the phall us. T hey are most easi ly dist ingui shed by the details of the hape of th is process: in S. (R.) mangarafiba it is narrower and more thread- li ke with thc apex not pointed and recurved.

Male. Length of forew ing 4. 1 mm. Color overall pale yell owish brown; antennae with flagellomeres dark brown ap icall y; head and thorax wi th golden setae dorsomesally and li ght brown setae laterally; legs pale yellowish brown with setae dark brown ; forewing brown beyond anas tomosis with dark marks a long chord and over radial and th yridi a l nyg mas, apex of wing with darker setae and, bo rdered basall y by a band of pale setae. Sternum V in ma le with anterolatera l glandul ar process about one and one-half times length of sternum . Genitalia as in figure 3a-d .

This new species is another member of the nigripennis group of FLINT

The new species is distinguished fro m the other species in the detai ls of the phalli c structure, especially the presence of seven small , internal spines.
