    The caddisfly genus Triaenodes in Neotropics (Trichoptera: Leptoceridae)
    (Magnolia Press, 2004) Holzenthal, Ralph W.; Andersen, Trond
    The genus Triaenodes as it occurs in the Neotropics is diagnosed and discussed in the context of the world fauna. Twenty new species are described and illustrated: T. acanthus (Mexico), T. chirripo (Costa Rica), T. clauseni (Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama), T. cuyotenango (Guatemala), T. flintorum (Mexico), T. guadaloupe (Panama), T. hodgesi (Ecuador), T. hornitos (Panama), T. kilambe (Nicaragua), T. mexicanus (Mexico), T. moncho (Costa Rica), T. morai (Costa Rica, Nicaragua), T. nicaraguensis (Nicaragua), T. oaxacensis (Mexico), T. tajo (Costa Rica), T. talamanca (Costa Rica), T. tapanti (Costa Rica, Panama), T. tico (Costa Rica, Panama), T. tuxtlensis (Mexico), and T. woldai (Panama). In addition, 4 previously described species are redescribed and figured: T. abruptus Flint 1991 (Colombia), T. anomalus Flint 1967 (Nicaragua, Mexico), T. delicatus Navás 1924 (Costa Rica, Panama), and T. peruanus Flint & Reyes 1991 (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru). The status of Triaenodes columbicus Ulmer 1909, is discussed. The larval and pupal stages of a Costa Rican species and the females of 9 species are described, representing the first descriptions of these life history stages for Neotropical Triaenodes. The genus Ylodes Milne is returned to synonymy with Triaenodes, as a subgenus. A key to the males of Neotropical Triaenodes is provided.

    A new genus of long-horned caddisfly from the Amazon basin (Trichoptera: Leptoceridae: Grumichellini)
    (Magnolia Press, 2004) Holzenthal, Ralph W.; Pes, Ana Maria Oliveira
    Amazonatolica hamadae, new genus, new species (Leptoceridae: Grumichellini), is described from the Amazon basin of Brazil. The adult male and female, larva, pupa and case are described and illustrated. The biology and habitat of the new species is unusual for members of its tribe in that it occurs attached to vegetation in acidic, lowland streams.

    A new species of Amphoropsyche (Trichoptera, Leptoceridae) from Ecuador, with a key to the species in the genus
    (Pensoft Publishers, 2011) Holzenthal, Ralph W.; Rázuri-Gonzales, Luis Ernesto
    A new species of Amphoropsyche Holzenthal is described from Ecuador. It is similar to a group of species with dorsomesal processes on the preanal appendages (i.e., A. woodruffi Flint & Sykora, A. refugia Holzenthal, and A. aragua Holzenthal), but can be distinguished from these and other members of the genus by the short, digitate dorsomesal processes on the preanal appendages and the broad lateral processes of tergum X of the male genitalia. A key to males of the 14 species now known in the genus is presented based on characters of the genitalia.

    Phylogenetic analysis of Notalina (Neonotalina) Holzenthal (Trichoptera: Leptoceridae), with the description of two new species from southeastern Brazil
    (Magnolia Press, 2006) Calor, Adolfo R.; Holzenthal, Ralph W.; Amorim, Dalton S.
    Two new species of Notalina (Neonotalina) Holzenthal 1986 from southeastern Brazil are described and illustrated, N. (Neonotalina) froehlichi Calor & Holzenthal and N. (Neonotalina) paulista Calor & Holzenthal. Phylogenetic analyses confirm the placement of the nine Neotropical species of Notalina into two species groups, the roraima species-group and the brasiliana species- group, with northern South American and southeastern Brazilian patterns of distribution, respectively. Additional collection records of previously described species from Brazil are provided.

    Review of the caddisfly genus Tagalopsyche with the description of new species and a related new genus (Trichoptera: Leptoceridae: Mystacidini)
    (Magnolia Press, 2007) Holzenthal, Ralph W.; Andersen, Trond
    The long-horned caddisfly genus Tagalopsyche Banks, 1913 (Leptoceridae: Mystacidini) is reviewed and 4 new species are described and illustrated: T. apratita, new species (India), T. jolandae, new species (Brunei, Malaysia), T. kjaerandseni, new species (Ghana), and T. udagama, new species (India, Sri Lanka). The 4 previously described species are redescribed and illustrated: T. aethiopica Kimmins, 1963a (Ethiopia), T. brunnea (Ulmer, 1905) (Indonesia), T. fletcheri Kimmins, 1963b (India), and T. sisyroides Banks, 1913 (Indonesia, Philippines). A related new genus, Fernandoschmidia, new genus, and 2 new species, F. amudita, new species, and F. aramaniya, new species, from India are described and illustrated. The phylogenetic position of the new genus is assessed; it is sister to a clade formed by Tagalopsyche and Mystacides Berthold, 1827, the only other genus in the Mystacidini.

    The Trichoptera of Panama I. New records for caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera) from the Republic of Panama
    (Center for Systematic Entomology Inc., 2015) Armitage, Brian J.; Harris, Steven C.; Holzenthal, Ralph W.
    The Republic of Panama currently has 245 recorded species of Trichoptera distributed among 13 families. Herein we add 32 new country records for Panama, including one new family (Limnephilidae) and one new genus (Limnephilus). We also provide the first collection information for Oxyethira maya Denning for Panama. These results are part of an ongoing effort to characterize the caddisfly fauna of Panama, and to evaluate that country’s major cuencas (water basins).

    West African Triaenodes McLachlan (Trichoptera: Leptoceridae). 1. Introduction and subgenus Triaenodella Mosely
    (Brill Academic Publishers, 2001) Andersen, Trond; Holzenthal, Ralph W.
    Two new Triaenodes McLachlan species belonging to subgenus Triaenodella Mosely, T. akosua sp. n. and T. amma sp. n., are described and figured, and four previously described species, T. dolobratus Gibbs, T. ghana Kimmins, T. proszynskii (Marlier & Botosaneanu), and T. serratus Ulmer are redescribed and figured based on males collected in Ghana. The female of T. proszynskii as well as the female holotype of T. palpalis Banks from Cameroon are also redescribed and figured. Further, an additional new species, T. kwadwo sp. n., from Ghana is described and figured; this species does not readily fit into any subgenus. A key to the subgenera of West African Triaenodes males and a key to the males of subgenus Triaenodella are provided.
