A key to the females of the genus Oxyethira (Trichoptera: Hydroptilidae) from the southern United States

Associations of females with the males for most species of the genus Oxyethira known from the southern United States has made possible the construction of a key to females of that region. Illustrations for 24 of the 27 species are provided along with a discussion of the general morphology of the genital segments of females of the genus

Aquatic Insects of Upper Three Runs Creek, Savannah River Plant, South Carolina. Part 1: Orders other than Diptera

Upper Three Runs Creek and its tributary sources, located mostly on property of the Savannah River Plant near Aiken, South Carolina (Fig. 1), is well-known as an unpolluted, blackwater drainage system which is probably typical of smaller, Sandhills waterways of primeval southeastern North America. Probably no other stream at the Plant\u27s Flowing Stream Laboratory (or Thermal Effects Laboratory) has been documented by a research team from the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (A.N.S.P.)
