Olinga is a genus of caddisflies belonging to the family Oeconesidae. [1] The genus was described by Robert McLachlan in 1868, revising the genus name in 1894. [2] All known species of Olinga are endemic to New Zealand.

Taxonomy

Robert McLachlan originally described the genus in 1868 under the name Olinx, naming Olinx feredayi as the type species. [3] [4] In 1894 he revised the name of the genus as Olinga, describing this change as "necessary, and under rather peculiar circumstances" as German entomologist Arnold Förster had proposed Olynx for another genus in 1856, which other authors had been rendering as Olinx since 1858, thus leading McLachlan to erroneously conclude that his name was preoccupied. [5] The genus was monotypic until 1958, when Keith Arthur John Wise described Olinga fumosa . [6]

Phylogenetic analysis indicates that Olinga forms a clade with the genera Alloecentrella , Beraeoptera , Confluens , Pycnocentria and Pycnocentrodes . [7]

Distribution

The genus is found in New Zealand. [1]

Keith Arthur John Wise, often referred to as K. A. J. Wise, was a New Zealand entomologist. Originally employed at the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Wise began working with the Bishop Museum in the early 1960s, coordinating field programmes for United States visits to Antarctica and Subantarctic islands. This work led Wise to identify and describe large numbers of novel species, including many species of springtail. In 1965, Wise became the first Curator of Entomology at the Auckland War Memorial Museum, where he was integral in creating the first entomology section within the natural history gallery.
