Abstract:

This paper deals with the Trichoptera immature fauna collected in 101 streams in Rio das Almas Basin during August-October 2008 and in Rio Parana, Iaciara-GO municipality, on August 2003, using kick-nets with 0.025 m2 of opening and 2 mm mesh. We record four new genera for Goias State, expanding records of genera from 33 to 37 and contributing to the Trichoptera fauna knowledge in Central Brazil.
