Abstract

The majority of caddisflies selected for discussion in this paper are from Mexico. The Mexican Trichopterous fauna should contain a large number of genera and species, however, relatively few have been recorded, or described from that country. The phylogeny of many nearctic species will be better understood when our knowledge of the Mexican fauna is more complete. With this as the objective, most of the new species selected for description herein will further elucidate our knowledge of the Trichoptera.

One new species of Wormaldia, four new Polycentropus, two new Limnephilus and two new Oecetis have been selected for description. The unknown female of Limnephilus discolor is described. Types are in the senior author's collection unless otherwise indicated.
