| Description | Collections of E. Křelinová (78 species: 16,637 imagines, 13,661 larvae) and J. Raušer (66 species: 4590 imagines, 395 slides of exuviae) sampled at more than 750 sites from 1947 to1965 represent one of the most complex stonefly materials in Central Europe. However, collections remained untreated for more than 40 years and only limited or fragmentary data have been published. Recently, a substantial part of samples has been redetermined or revised, relocalised using GIS, relabelled and data transferred to a common database. Misidentifications mostly arising from taxonomic changes after 1960 are discussed. Some species, contrary to existing literature data, thus are not reliably documented in the Czech Republic (Oemopteryx loewii, Nemoura erratica, N. fulviceps, Protonemura nimborella, Leuctra carinthiaca, L. handlirschi, L. teriolensis), some others (Chloroperla susemicheli, Siphonoperla burmeisteri, Brachyptera starmachi, Leuctra cingulata, L. pusilla, L. dalmoni) actually represent the first reliable records from the Czech Republic. |
