2019年10月7日 · The morphology of the highly specialized larvae of Sisyridae is mainly shaped by aquatic habits and a close association with freshwater sponges or bryozoans. Autapomorphies include modifications of the head capsule, cephalic endoskeleton, and cephalic digestive tract, a largely reduced labium, single claws, zigzag-shaped abdominal tracheal ...

2024年11月29日 · Larvae are aquatic, develop inside of, and feed on, freshwater sponges and bryozoans. The elongated mouthparts are used to pierce the cells of the sponge and ingest their contents. Adults found near larval habitat and come to lights. (3) 1. Penny N.D., Adams P.A., Stange L.A. 1997. Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci. 50: 39‒114. 2. 3.

2006年11月13日 · Sisyrid larvae (Figure 1a, Figure 2) are a curiosity because they feed on freshwater sponges (Porifera: Spongillidae; Figure 1b), occurring solely as parasites on these host animals (although...
Sisyridae - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Sisyrid larvae are believed to feed exclusively on freshwater sponges, and they are unique among the Neuroptera in having segmented abdominal gills that function in breathing (Fig. 8H). Adults are dull in color and relatively small (forewing length 4–10 mm).
Order Neuroptera – ENT 425 – General Entomology
Larvae of spongillaflies, family Sisyridae, are predators of freshwater sponges. As larvae, lacewings and antlions do not have a complete digestive system: the midgut ends in a dead end.

2017年4月20日 · The larvae are aquatic and inhabit freshwater sponges or, possibly, ectoproct colonies. They apparently feed by sucking small organisms or cells of the sponges through their pipette-like mouthparts. Studies of the larval development of South American species have rarely been undertaken.

2022年3月17日 · Typically rare, Sisyridae (Neuroptera) larvae were relatively common in both habitats (4–6% sample occurrence). However, different species occurred in each, Climacia areolaris (Hagen, 1861) in the river and Sisyra vicaria (Walker, 1853) in the wetlands.
