TRICHOPTERA FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH 
CAROLINA AND TENNESSEE

The caddis-flies listed in this paper were collected by Pro- 
fessor Nathan Banks, Dr. P. J. Darlington, Jr., and the 
writer , in the Black Mountains of North Carolina and the 
Smoky Mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee during 
August and September of 1930. Several specimens col- 
lected by Dr. and Mrs. W. S. Creighton in the Black Moun- 
tains at about the same time are also included. For the 
opportunity of studying this material and for many helpful 
suggestions, I am indebted to Professor Banks. The types 
of all new species are deposited in the Museum of Compara- 
tive Zoology. 
The summer of 1930 was very dry in the southern Appa- 
lachian region and as a consequence caddis-flies were not 
very abundant. But about two hundred and fifty specimens 
were collected, belonging to twenty -three species, including 
five new ones, as well as three new genera. Several species 
previously known only from the types were taken in con- 
siderable numbers, and both sexes of other species formerly 
known only by one sex were also secured.
