Abstract Twelve new species of Trichoptera from New Zealand
are named and described, as follows. Hydrobiosidae: Edpercivalia oriens,
Hydrobiosis centralis, Hydrobiosis neadelphus, Hydrobiosis
taumata, Hydrochorema lyfordi, and Tiphobiosis quadrifurca;
Conoesucidae: Pycnocentria mordax; Oeconesidae: Oeconesus
angustus, Pseudoeconesus geraldinae, Pseudoeconesus haasti,
Pseudoeconesus hendersoni, and Pseudoeconesus paludis. The
differential characters and distributions of the valid Pseudoeconesus
species are summarised. Corrected holotype localities are given for
Oeconesus similis Mosely, 1953, Pseudoeconesus stramineus
McLachlan, 1894, and P. squamosus Mosely, 1953. Pseudoeconesus
tristirpis Wise, 1958 is declared a junior synonym of P. bistirpis
Wise, 1958; and Pseudoeconesus karoriensis Mosely, 1953 a junior synonym
of P. mimus McLachlan, 1894.
