We collected 15,573 individuals of aquatic insects distributed among 92
taxonomic groups. We identified 84 genera in the orders Coleoptera,
Diptera, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera and Megaloptera. Eight
groups were identified to the family level (Dryopidae, Dystricidae,
Gyrinidae, Hydrophilidae, Ptilodactylidae, Ceratopogonidae, Empididae
and Simuliidae). The Chironomidae family was the most well represented,
with 38 genera, followed by the order Ephemeroptera (20 genera),
Trichoptera (13 genera) and Elmidae (10 genera). The order Plecoptera
had only the genus Anacroneuria (Perlidae) and we identified the
genera Corydalus and Protosialis in the order Megaloptera.
