The world subgenera of Glossosoma Curtis (Trichoptera : Glossosomatidae), with a revision of the Chinese species of Glossosoma subgenera Synafophora martynov and Protoglossa Ross

摘要

Newly discovered morphological evidence suggests that there are six principal monophyletic lineages of Glossosoma globally. We designate these as subgenera and infer the relationships among them using PAUP (Ripaeglossa ((Protoglossa + Lipoglossa) (Muroglossa (Glossosoma + Synafophora)))). Species of Glossosoma subgenus Synafophora are reported from China for the first time. Subgenus Synafophora is represented in Palearctic China by five species: Glossosoma (Synafophora) altaicum (Martynov), G. (S.) intermedium (Klapalek), G. (S.) minutum (Martynov), G. (S.) nylanderi (McLachlan), and G. (S.) ussuricum (Martynov). Glossosoma (Protoglossa) currently includes two species, both of which are known only from Oriental China. We transfer the Indian (Sikkim) species Glossosoma (Lipoglossa) kchinam Schmid 197 1, to subgenus Protoglossa and review the Chinese species of subgenera Synafophora and Protoglossa.
