Family of caddisflies From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Psychomyiidae are a family of tube-making caddisflies. Members of this family are typically very similar to polycentropodids, most of them can be differentiated by the spur formula is 2-4-4, thyridial cell short, absence of the forewing fork I, and hindwing forks I and IV (except in Eoneureclipsis). Male genitalia has elongate preanal appendages, and reduced tergum IX.[1] The larvae differ by the submental sclerites separated, foretrochantin broad, and the pupal mandible apex whip-like.[2][3] Larvae construct long silken galleries.
