A List of the Caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera) from Kyrgyzstan, with a New Record (Triaenodes reuteri McLachlan 1880)

The Trichoptera include more species than any of the other primarily aquatic orders of insects, which are usually found in clean fresh water. Distribution of the species of an order based on geography can provide guidance for researchers working in the field. In the current study, for the first time, a list of known Trichoptera species in Kyrgyzstan is given along with a new record. The list is prepared based on the relevant literature between 1875 and 2020 and a study conducted in 2012. Literature search revealed that 21 known species of caddisflies of 13 genera and 8 families have been reported from Kyrgyzstan; our research found that Triaenodes reuteri McLachlan 1880 is also present in Kyrgyzstan. We also re-illustrate the male genitalia of T. reuteri and provide a detailed redescription. Based on literature search and our observations, the Kyrgyzstan caddisfly fauna has been poorly studied; it is expected that new records and new species will be found in Kyrgyzstan through further research.

Fecal Ciliate Composition of Domestic Horses (Equus caballus Linnaeus, 1758) Living in Kyrgyzstan

Species composition and distribution of intestinal ciliates were investigated in the feces from 15 domestic horses living in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Twenty-three species belonging to 14 genera were identified. This is the first study on intestinal ciliates in domestic horses living in Kyrgyzstan. The mean number of ciliates was 14.1 ± 6.8 x10(4) cells ml(-1) of feces and the mean number of ciliate species per host was 6.0 ± 3.2. No endemic or new species were detected. Blepharocorys was the major genus as these ciliates were detected in high proportions. In contrast Holophryoides, Allantosoma were only observed at low frequencies. Recorded ciliate species in this investigation had almost the same characteristics as those described in previous studies. There was no important geographic variation in the intestinal ciliate fauna of equids.

Redescription of Osmylus multiguttatus McLachlan, 1870 (Neuroptera: Osmylidae) with distributional remarks

Osmylus multiguttatus McLachlan, 1870 has recently been rediscovered in the Middle Anatolia. Redescription of the male and female is presented. Faunistic data and habitat are provided. Photograph of wings, drawings of male and female external and internal genitalia are illustrated for the first time. The distribution map with new recording sites and recent data is also given. A preliminary key to species of Osmylus is presented.
