Burdick’s California Trichoptera Species List Circa 2000

In 1999, due to post polio syndrome , I ceased all trichoptera work, believing my work would remain on the web site of Cal. State University Biol. Dept. Unfortunately the Dept. closed this website due to lack of anyone willing to maintain it. After a number of years, they set up a new site but did not reestablish the data from the old. I remained unaware of this until 2009. I asked about this and found they believed the old data was there. To make my work available again I set up a blog hoping to link to the new site. Shannon’s illustrations will surely be of value in species recognition. My efforts still contain extensive distribution data denoting material that should be available at the Cal. Acad. Sci.

The determination of the species listed with a couple of exceptions were by Don Denning.On common material he turned this over to me. In his collection a number of specimens were were labeled with genus and a letter or word to area and n.sp. In my collection the specimens he indicated as new were handed similarly. When I prepared the manuscript, I gave them trivial names. I had Shannon draw all of these. In later work, I determined that some were synonyms of known species. Hopefully the drawings will back my decisions. In my list these are indented in same manner as are synonyms of established species.

Trichoptera of CA

Due to an association with Don Denning at the time of his death, I was asked to prepare his collection for deposit in the California Academy of Sciences. While so doing I tried to note the names on his California specimens. I did not check them and, as Don often identified large numbers of specimens quickly believing he would check them before publishing, the names here are provisional until checked. I considered the names correct until they could be rechecked and many were not. My artist and I were able to find many of the specimens at the C.A.S. but not all of them. My opinion of species status is noted. I also was given the larval collection of Dr. David Lauck (Humboldt State Univ.) Which I prepared and donated to the C.A.S. This added a few more names to the list. My collection, which included that of Richard Gill, was also given to the C.A.S. Our material was predominately from the area from Tuolumne Co. into Kern Co. but we both collected in other areas of the state. I have also worked with Brian Quelvog on the aquatic insects of Tuolumne Co. And I have added species and localities from other sources such as the San Jose State Collection, BYU and the literature. Shannon also used specimens from USNM, UC Davis and Los Angeles County Museums in her drawings. In his work R. F. Gill had searched the literature and using the Denning named material plus the then available ones from our collecting made a provisional list of California species. Since then S. Bickford and I have extended the list. I hired Shannon Bickford, a scientific illustrator, to make drawings of the male genitalia of as many of the species as we could locate (for a few we could not locate Dennings specimens nor a few of those noted in the literature and so used out of state material). We were also aided by Nancy Ermin (UCD) O. S. Flint (USNM), and the curators at Univ. Cal. @ Davis, and Calif Acad. Sci. As the work was not finished, this is more of a progress report with the goal of making S. Bickford’s drawings available and my opinions on which species occur in the state, which are synonyms and which are undescribed. For my discussions I found it easiest to assign names to those that D. Denning thought were new and which I initially agreed or independently thought were undescribed. I have titled all the drawings with a species name and where there is more than one drawing for the species this is indicated by a following number (1,2,3). As the work was done awhile ago and I find the latinization of Greek adjectives to Greek generic names of little or no value nor worrying about gender correctness, I have in the drawings and my initial list retained some of the older endings. I will add a list at the end using these more acceptable names and eliminating species that I have deemed not likely in Calif. (despite a record) or list as synonyms in order to give an estimate of the number of species in the state. In conjunction with the drawings I will add my observations on status, locality or localities of note. ~ Dr. Don Burdick
