Studies in Neotropical Leptoceridae (Trichoptera) II: Amphoropsyche, a new genus and species of Leptocerinae from northern South America. International Journal of Entomology, 27(3), 255-269.https://hdl.handle.net/11299/190795Amphoropsyche, n. gen. (Trichoptera: Leptoceridae: Leptocerinae), from northern South America is described and illustrated. Nine new species are placed in the new genus: A. ayura, A. cauca, A. choco, A. fl inti, A. quebrada, and A. stellata from Colombia; A. napo from Ecuador; and A. aragua and A. refugia from Venezuela. B,rachysetodes insularis is transferred to the new genus. Amphoropsyche is diagnosed by the presence of a large internal gland in the preanal appendages and by a tuft of closely appressed setae on the inferior appendages of the male genitalia. Its phylogenetic position is near the base of the Leptocerinae.enArticle
