Plecoptera

 

Stoneflies (order Plecoptera) belong to the winged insects with incomplete transformation (Hemimetabola), their origin dates back to the period of the Upper Carboniferous. Today’s living stoneflies belong to two suborders, occurring in the southern (Antarctoperlaria), and northern (Arctoperlaria) hemisphere, respectively. Currently, there are more than 3,500 species that inhabit exclusively freshwater, mainly cold temperate streams. Due to low mobility and specific ecological requirements, they are characterized by a high degree of local endemism. There are 98 species known to occur in Slovakia, the richest ones are the families Nemouridae and Leuctridae. Stoneflies respond sensitively to anthropogenic interventions in streams, so they are used as biological indicators of degradation in river basins.
