Philorheithridae is a family of caddisflies in the order Trichoptera. There are about 8 genera and more than 20 described species in Philorheithridae. [1] [2] [3]
These eight genera belong to the family Philorheithridae:
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.
Plectrotarsidae is a small Australasian family of insects in the order Trichoptera. The family consists of three genera, with five species in total. Two of the genera are monotypic, while the third genera (Liapota) contains three species.
Apataniidae is a family of early smoky wing sedges in the order Trichoptera. There are about 18 genera and at least 180 described species in Apataniidae.
Goeridae is a family of caddisflies in the order Trichoptera. There are about 12 genera and at least 160 described species in Goeridae.
Uenoidae is a family of stonecase caddisflies in the order Trichoptera. There are about 7 genera and at least 80 described species in Uenoidae.
Uenoa is a genus of stonecase caddisflies in the family Uenoidae. There are about 12 described species in Uenoa, found in Asia.
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.
Chilostigmini is a tribe of northern caddisflies in the family Limnephilidae. There are about 12 genera and at least 40 described species in Chilostigmini.
Dicosmoecinae is a subfamily of northern caddisflies in the family Limnephilidae. There are about 19 genera and at least 80 described species in Dicosmoecinae.
Hydroptilinae is a subfamily of microcaddisflies in the family Hydroptilidae. There are at least 60 genera and 1,600 described species in Hydroptilinae.
Lype is a genus of net tube caddisflies in the family Psychomyiidae. There are more than 20 described species in Lype.
Psilotreta is a genus of mortarjoint casemakers in the family Odontoceridae. There are more than 30 described species in Psilotreta.
Homoplectra is a genus of netspinning caddisflies in the family Hydropsychidae. There are about 11 described species in Homoplectra.
Marilia is a genus of mortarjoint casemakers in the family Odontoceridae. There are at least 40 described species in Marilia.
Martin Ephraim Mosely was an English entomologist who specialized in the systematics of caddisflies (Trichoptera). His interest in freshwater insects was first triggered by his interest in fishing. He was also a well-known angler and fly-fisherman and contributed to the works of Frederic M. Halford, a friend and distant relative.
Anisocentropus krampus is a species of caddisfly in the family Calamoceratidae. It was described in 1994 by Austrian entomologist Hans Malicky and found in New Britain.
Conoesucidae is a family of caddisflies in the order Trichoptera. There are about 12 genera and more than 40 described species in Conoesucidae.
Oeconesidae is a family of caddisflies in the order Trichoptera. There are about 6 genera and 19 described species in Oeconesidae, found mainly in New Zealand. A single species, Tascuna ignota, is found in Tasmania.
