Yj. Li et al., Pseudoneureclipsinae in Dipseudopsidae (Trichoptera : Hydropsychoidea), with descriptions of two new species of Pseudoneureclipsis from East Asia, AQUAT INSEC, 23(2), 2001, pp. 107-117
A phylogenetic analysis of all known life history stages of Hydropsychoidea
implies that Pseudoneureclipsinae should be removed from Polycentropodidae
and placed in Dipseudopsidae. Two synapomorphies especially informative fo
r this conclusion are the fused condition of female sternum VIII sclerites
and the presence of a long larval spinneret without labial palpi. A new spe
cies, Pseudoneureclipsis tiani Li, sp. n., is described, representing the f
irst report of this genus from China. A male lectotype and two male paralec
totypes of P. ussuriensis Martynov are designated from the Primorye Region
of Far East Russia and distinguished from specimens described but not named
by Botosaneanu in 1970 from Korea. These latter are herein named Pseudoneu
reclipsis botosaneanui Morse, sp. n.
