tubercle on the 1st abdominal segment. The larval case of Phryga- 

 nopsyche latipennis is not built of fresh plant fragments but of minute 

 detritus particles arranged irregularly on the tube; this resembles some 

 parts of the tubes of Psychomyiidae or the dwelling chamber of some 

 Polycentropodidae covered with detritus. The larval case is straight and 

 broad as in Phryganea and has open anterior and posterior ends (Wiggins, 

 1959:745—757, Figures 1—2). The family Phryganopsychidae is the most 

 primitive family of the suborder. 



Tsuda (1936) established the family Kitagamiidae from Japan. Ulmer 

 (1951 ) renamed this family Limnocentropodidae. The family was again 

 given its original name according to paragraph 54 of the "Copenhagen 

 Resolutions on Zoological Nomenclature" (Wiggins, 1956:l). 



In their studies on the Trichoptera of Australia and New Zealand, Mosely 

 152 and Kimmins (1953) added the family Philorheitridae with 7 species 

 (previously considered as an endemic family) and the 3 following new 

 families of Integripalpia: Plectrotarsidae Mos. et Kimm. (3 species), 

 Philanisidae Mos. et Kimm. (l species), Helicophidae Mos. et Kimm. 

 (2 species). The larva of Philanisus plebeius McL., living on the 

 coast of the ocean, was described by Ulmer (1953); the larvae of the other 

 families are not known. 



Ross (1938:135-139; 1944:51-76) and other authors, including Schmid 

 (1955:14), stated repeatedly that the family Sericostomatidae is artificial. 

 They replaced it with 5 families which are the former subfamilies of 

 Sericostomatidae raised to the rank of family: Goeridae Ulm., Lepidostoma- 

 tidae Ulm., Brachycentridae Ulm., Sericostomatidae Steph., Helicopsychidae 

 Ulm.; the family Thremmatidae Mart, should be added. 



The addition of the small new families did not much change the general 

 appearance of the order because of the small size of the relict families in 

 the Tropics and Subtropics. Such rarities will probably also be found in 

 future in little studied countries; however, the classification of the greater 

 part of the order into families was already established at the beginning of 

 this century; it was made more accurate by detailed studies of the 

 morphology of the group, especially of the larvae. 



A list of the families of the new classification of Trichoptera Integri- 

 palpia created by the above authors until 1960 is given below.* 



II. Integripalpia Mart. 



1. Phryganopsychidae Wigg. 11. Helicophidae Mos. a. Kimm. 



2. Phryganeidae Burm. 12. Calamoceratidae Ulm. 



3. Kitagamiidae Tsuda 13. Odontoceridae Wall. 



4. Plectrotarsidae Mos. a. Kimm. 14. Molannidae Wall. 



5. Limnophilidae Kol. 15. Leptoceridae Leach. 



6. Goeridae Ulm. 16. Beraeidae Wall. 



7. Lepidostomatidae Ulm. 17. Sericostomatidae Steph. 



8. Brachycentridae Ulm. 18. Helicopsychidae Ulm. 



9. Philorheitridae Mos. 19. Thremmatidae Mart. 

 10. Philanisidae Mos. a. Kimm. 



Ulmer (1957) lists 28 families, i.e., all the foregoing except the families Phryganopsychidae and 

 Thremmatidae, which were not established at that time; the family Thremmatidae was considered by 

 Ulmer as the subfamily Thremmatinae of the family Brachycentridae.
