New genera and species in the Australian Philorheithridae (Insecta: Trichoptera)

Three new species in two new genera of Philorheithridae Hare from Australia are described: Choristorheithrus camurus gen. et sp. nov., C. metadosis gen. et sp. nov. and Humorheithrus idiomatus gen. et sp. nov. Two new species, Philorheithrus frere sp. nov. and P. theischingeri sp. nov., are described and are the first species of this genus described from Australia, with a further undescribed species known from a single larva from Tasmania. Females, pupae and larvae of some species are also described.

Abstract

Three new species in two new genera of Philorheithridae Hare from Australia are described: Choristorheithrus camurus gen. et sp. nov., C. metadosis gen. et sp. nov. and Humorheithrus idiomatus gen. et sp. nov. Two new species, Philorheithrus frere sp. nov. and P. theischingeri sp. nov., are described and are the first species of this genus described from Australia, with a further undescribed species known from a single larva from Tasmania. Females, pupae and larvae of some species are also described.
