Abstract

During various studies of freshwater quality, twenty-four species of Smicridea were collected in Bolivia. This brings to thirty-one the number of Smicridea species present in this country. Four belong to the subgenus Smicridea Mclachlan J Linnean Soc London Zool 11: 98–141, 1871, which is recorded for the first time for the country. Additionally, 16 species in the subgenus Rhyacophylax Müller Zool Anzeiger 2: 38–40, 1879, are also registered for the first time. Three species are new and described from males: Smicridea (Rhyacophylax) molinai sp. nov., Smicridea (Rhyacophylax) ruedamartinae sp. nov., and Smicridea (Smicridea) moyai sp. nov.

Acknowledgments

We are grateful to all that contributed to the field missions and to the Unidad de Limnología of the Universidad Mayor de San-Andrés who, for years, warmly welcomed one of us. We especially thank those who, during their field trips, have devoted time to the collection of Trichoptera: Carlos Molina, Claudio Rosales, Nabor Moya, and Jorge Molina. We also thank two anonymous reviewers and the editor of the journal.
