PREFACE
G.P. MORETTI
The Triennial Symposium of Trichoptera would seem to have become a
regular event on the calendar. Initiated by Prof. Malicky at Lunz in Austria
in 1974, they continued at Reading in England in 1977 (Convenor: Dr
M.I. Crichton), the last, this year, took place in Perugia, Italy (Convenor:
Prof. G.P. Moretti) and the next will be hosted by Dr J.C. Morse in Clemson,
U.S.A. in 1983.
The most outstanding points of the 3rd International Symposium on
Trichoptera held at Perugia from July 28 to August 2, 1980 were I) the
high number of participants; 2) the extent, scientific interest and coverage
of the papers presented and 3) the warmth and immediate contact which
drew everyone together from the first moment.
Twenty-one nations (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada,
Czechoslavakia, Denmark, France, Germany-F.G.R., Germany-G.D.R.,
Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States) were represented by a total
of 63 trichopterologists who presented 54 papers and 8 posters during in
8 sessions chaired by M.I. Crichton, H. Malicky, A. Nielsen, O. Flint, L.
Botosaneanu, F. Vaillant, G.B. Wiggins and J.C. Morse. The scientific value
of the contributions reflected the advanced level reached in their inves
tigations, as well as the diversity of the biological trends. Papers dealt with
the morphology, ultrastructure, systematics, taxonomy, phylogenesis,
palaeontology, zoogeography, ecology, population dynamics, distribution,
pollution, classification, biological cycles, sex ratios, histology, cytology,
biochemistry, physiology and parasitology of both larvae and adult Trich
optera. New taxa were described and systematic catalogues were proposed
by countries and regions where there was previously a paucity of information
on Trichopteran fauna. Two notices of particular importance were announced.
One, that Dr L.W. Higler would appreciate receiving any zoogeographical
paper on Trichoptera published in any part of the world, so that Fischer's
precious and indispensable Trichopterorum Catalogus may be kept up-to
date; the other, that Prof. H. Malicky pointed out the utility and value of
supplying him with any information for onward transmission to trichopterol
ogists through that mine of interesting news, his Trichoptera Newsletter.
The great variety, value and sheer number of papers, as well as the fact
that some institutes presented a group of contributions, has created problems
for the editorial staff and the publishers (JUNK), who kindly agreed to
allocating more pages than origi!lally agreed to and, also, to reducing the
bibliographical references to the brief form used by many American journals.
The programme was enriched by two field trips to typical Umbrian
biotopes; one to Lake Trasimene, the largest laminar lake in Italy; the
second, to the waters of the Sibillini Mounts, the highest and most extensive
orohydrographic system in the Umbrian-Marches Apennines. Typical Limnal,
ix
Rhitral and Crenal Trichoptera were collected on both occasions and the
lighter moments of 'scientists at work' were caught and documented
photographically by our technician, Leo Marini. Sericostoma italicum
Moretti, which are endemic to Central Italy, were collected in the character
istic irrigated meadows ("marcite") of Norcia and another Central Italian
term, RhyacophiZa italica, from our breedings tanks which are cared for by
Giorgina Vignaroli, was given to the participants as a memento of their visit.
I should like to conclude by offering my hearty thanks to my irreplaceable
collaborators at the Institute of Zoology and Hydrobiology and to admit
that without their unflagging support I should never have been able to carry
out all the work which the 3rd symposium entailed. I am particularly grateful
to Fernanda Cianficconi for her valuable help, Judy Dale who has assisted
me in preparing this volume, Carla Cassioli - the institute secretary - Elio
Aisa for his help in obtaining fmancial support and Maria Vittoria Di
*
Giovanni for the organization of the social programme.
I cannot close without a word of appreciation to Hans Malicky
and Ian Crichton, Lazaire Botosaneanu and Krassimir Kumansky who
acted as signposts during my meanders through current Trichoptera system
atics by supplying me with data and specimens, as well as convalidating my
research, thereby steering me away from the pitfalls innate to all catalogues.
