MOUTHPARTS, GUT CONTENTS, AND RETREAT-CONSTRUCTION BY THE WOOD-DWELLING LARVAE OF LYPE PHAEOPA (TRICHOPTERA: PSYCHOMYIIDAE)

Mouthparts, gut contents, and retreat-construction by the wood-dwelling larvae of Lype phaeopa (Trichoptera: Psychomyiidae)

The larvae of Lype phaeopa (Stephens, 1836) are found on dead wood substrates in streams and lakes.Gut content analyses, scanning electron microscopy of larval mouthparts, and gallery structure revealed characteristics of this habitat preference.The guts of the larvae contained mainly wood fragments whereas other food items (detritus, algae, fungi,
