Checklist of the caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera) from Oaxaca, Mexico
Abstract An updated checklist of the caddisflies from the State of Oaxaca, Mexico is presented, based primarily on a bibliographic review. Fourteen families, 44 genera and 216 species of caddisflies have been recorded, 38 (17.51%) of which are endemic, and 9 species are recorded for the first time from Oaxaca. For each species, we describe its geographic distribution, provide references with distribution records, and highlight those that are endemic to Oaxaca and Mexico. Although there has been a significant increase in taxonomic work on Mexican caddisflies, it is still necessary to continue studying the systematics, ecology, and biogeography of Trichoptera from Oaxaca, especially in poorly explored regions.
