Vol. 101, No. 1, January & February 1990 ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE RHYACOPHILOIDEA AND INTEGRIPALPIA (TRICHOPTERA) OF ALABAMA 1 S.C. Harris 2 , P.K. Lago 3 ABSTRACT: Distributional records of 132 species of caddisflies in the suborder Annuli-palpia, (superfamily Rhyacophiloidea) and the suborder Integripalpia (superfamilies Limnephiloidea, Phryganeoidea, Leptoceroidea, and Sericostomatidea) from Alabama are listed, along with information on seasonal occurrence, habitat and relative abundance. This checklist brings the total number of caddisflies known from Alabama to 323 species. The caddisfly fauna of the southeastern United States has received considerable attention in recent years and species checklists are now available for Tennessee (Etnier and Schuster, 1979), North and South Carolina (Unzickere/ a/., 1982), Kentucky (Resh, 1975), Virginia (Parker and Voshell, 1981), and Mississippi including southeastern Louisiana (Holzenthal el al., 1982). This is the third and final contribution in a series of papers (Harris, 1986a; Lago and Harris, 1987) on the caddisfly fauna of Alabama. This checklist presents distributional records for 132 species in the families Glossosomatidae and Rhyacophilidae (infra-order Spicipalpia, Weaver, 1984); Goeridae, Limnephilidae, Uenoidae, Brachycentridae, Lepidostomatidae, Phyrganeidae (infraorder Pleni-tentoria. Weaver, 1984); and Odontoceridae, Calamoceratidae, Lep-toceridae, Molannidae, Helicopsychidae, and Sericostomatidae (infra-order Brevitentoria, Weaver, 1984). The Hydroptilidae which are also in the infraorder Spicipalpia (Weaver, 1984) are not included in this chec-klist, but were compiled in Harris (1986a). Of the 132 species identified from Alabama, ten were described during the course of the study (Harris, 1986b, 1987, 1989; Vineyard and Wiggins, 1987) and two others will be described in the near future. The species richness is indicative of the range of physiographic regions represented in the state. These include the East Gulf Coastal Plain, Piedmont Plateau, Valley and Ridge, and Appalachian Plateau, including the Highland Rim Plateau and Cum-berland Plateau subregions (Sapp and Emplaincourt, 1975).
