Abstract

A new Chinese Trichoptera checklist includes 1267 described species in 116 genera and 30 families, each with a revised provincial distribution. Over the past 8 years, we have added 267 newly described species (or newly recorded species) to the trichopteran fauna of China from the old checklist of 1000 species in 110 genera and 28 families (Yang et al. 2005), among which nearly 80 new species to the Chinese fauna were contributed by various foreign taxonomists. This checklist also reports six newly recorded species from China: Diplectrona obscura Ulmer, Diplectrona aurovittata (Ulmer), Hydropsyche boreas Malicky & Chantaramongkol, and Macrostemum hestia Malicky & Chantaramongkol of family Hydropsychidae; Adicella paludicola Ito & Kuhara of family Leptoceridae and Lannapsyche chantaramongkolae Malicky of family Odontoceridae. Psychomyia dactylina Sun 1997 is a synonym of Psychomyia martynovi Hwang 1957 and Chimarra bicuspidalis Sun 1998 is a synonym of Chimarra sadayu Malicky 1993. The species name of Cheumatopsyche pallida (Navás 1932) is a secondary junior homonym in the genus Cheumatopsyche, preoccupied by Cheumatopsyche pallida (Banks 1920). The new name for Ch. pallida will be published by Chang-hai Sun in a separate paper. Ecnomus orientalis Li & Morse 1997 is a junior primary homonym of E. danielae orientalis Gibon 1992 and is renamed E. anhuiensis, nomen novum. Apatania mirabilis Martynov 1909 is transferred to Apatidelia as Apatidelia mirabilis (Martynov 1909), new combination.
