Two New Distributional Records for Caddisflies (Trichoptera: Philoptamidae, Helicopsychidae) in Eastern Oklahoma

Abstract

Our knowledge of the caddisflies (Trichoptera) of Oklahoma is in its early stages.Previous reports have provided some initial foundational information but there remains a need foradditional surveys of this state’s caddisfly biota. Here, we provide new state records for two speciesof caddisflies from Robber’s Cave State Park, Latimer County.Our purpose is to help fill gaps inour limited biological knowledge of this fauna that should help in future surveys and observationsconducted in the state.
