Abstract :
A survey on the occurrence of caddisflies,
distribution, and abundance was carried out in four
protected areas of Khlong Saeng Wildlife Sanctuary, and
Khlong Phanom, Kaengkrung, Khao Sok National Parks
in Surat Thani Province, southern Thailand. These are
areas found in the west of Surat Thani province that hold
the Lower Phuket mountains, an off-shoot range linked to
the great Tenasserim Hills called the Indo-Malayan
Mountain system. The streams of Khlong Phanom,
Khlong Yan, Khlong Sok, and Khlong Saeng tributaries
of the Phum Duang River were used for this investigation.
The largest water source of River Tapi is Phum Duang,
which drains the wetlands of the Tapi River. This study
was conducted in March-December 2019. samples were
collected once in the dry season and twice during the rainy
season, giving a sum of three collections during the
research. The results revealed that two hundred and one
(201) species were caught and identified, this falls into
fifty-one (51) genera, and eighteen (18) families. Families
Ecnomidae, Philopotamidae, Hydropsychidae, and
Leptoceridae are extensive and constitute about sixty
percent (60%) of the insects sampled. Cheumatopsyche
contexta ULMER 1951*
, Cheumatopsyche opposita
BANKS 1931*
, and Polymorphanisus scutellatus BANKS
1939*
, were the new records observed. Water quality
variables were correlated to some species, and the analysis
revealed that some species demonstrated negative and
positive responses to various water parameters.
