Alloecentrella is a genus of caddisflies belonging to the order Trichoptera. [1] The genus was first recognised by Keith Arthur John Wise in 1958. [2]
Wise originally considered the genus to be within the family Beraeidae. [2] The genus was created because Wise could not place the type specimen, Alloecentrella magnicornis , into any pre-existing genera due to morphological differences of the discoidal cell in the anterior wing of the species. [2] The genus was monotypic until 2007, when three new species were described. [3]
Since 1978 the genus has been placed in family Calocidae. Henderson & Ward (2007) argued that Alloecentrella should be placed within Helicophidae, [3] something supported by a phylogenetic analysis in 2008. [4]
The genus is endemic to New Zealand. [2] Alloecentrella incisus and Alloecentrella magnicornis are found in the North Island, [3] while Alloecentrella cirratus and Alloecentrella linearis are found on the South Island. [3]
