Pseudoeconesus bistirpis is a species of caddisfly belonging to the family Hydrobiosidae. [2] The species was first described by Keith Arthur John Wise in 1958, [2] and is endemic to New Zealand. [3]

Taxonomy

The species was identified by Wise in 1958, based on a specimen collected from the Tongariro area of the North Island Volcanic Plateau in 1930 by Alfred Philpott. [3] [4] Pseudoeconesus tristirpis, which was identified in the same paper by Wise, became a junior synonym of Pseudoeconesus bistirpis in 1997. [5]

Description

P. bistirpis is brownish-yellow in colour, with rows of minute spots freckled on its forewings. [6]

Wise's original text (the type description) reads as follows:

Testaceous; ANTERIOR WINGS closely irrorated with rows of almost colourless spots between the veins. WING VENATION. Apical forks of anterior wing sessile. Apical forks 1 and 3 of posterior wing stalked. Sc and R1 of posterior wing folded together for most of their lengths. Abdomen♂. Fifth abdominal segment with a pair of lateral processes. Length of anterior wing, ♂10 mm (0.39 in). ♀15 mm (0.59 in). [3]

The hindwings of P. bistirpis are similar to P. hudsoni , but can be identified due to the enlarged setae and inconspicuous humeral vein. [7]

Distribution and habitat

Pseudoeconesus bistirpis is endemic to New Zealand, [3] and is found across the North Island and the upper South Island. [6] The species can be identified in traps year-round. [8] It is found in seepages in New Zealand bush, [6] and is believed to be reliant on forested ecosystems. [9]
