The family Leptoceridae are a family of caddisflies often called "long-horned caddisflies". Leptoceridae is the second largest family of caddisflies with more than 1500 species in around 45 genera. The main identifying feature of most Leptoceridae is that their antennae are longer than those of other caddisflies. There is one genus with short antennae (Ceraclea), but it is easily identified by the pair of dark curved lines on the mesonotum.
The Hydroptilidae are a large family of caddisflies (Trichoptera) with a worldwide distribution. They are commonly known as microcaddisflies or purse-case caddisflies, in reference to two characteristic traits of this family: Hydroptilidae are much smaller than other caddisflies, rarely exceeding 5 mm (0.20 in) in length. Their larvae do not build a protective case until the final instar of their growth. At that time however, they build a typically Purse-shaped case, either portable or stuck to the substrate, in which the larva finishes growth and pupates.
Apatania is a genus of caddisflies in the family Apataniidae. There are at least 90 described species in Apatania.
Micrasema is a genus of humpless casemaker caddisflies in the family Brachycentridae. There are more than 70 described species in Micrasema.
Limnephilinae is a subfamily of northern caddisflies in the family Limnephilidae. There are at least 65 genera and 600 described species in Limnephilinae.
