Abstract

Thirteen species of Helicopsyche, subgenus Feropsyche (Trichoptera: Helicopsychidae) are recorded from Costa Rica, including 3 new species: H. alajuela, n. sp., H. dorsocurvata, n. sp., and H. golfitoensis, n. sp., as well as 10 previously described species: H. borealis (Hagen), H. chiriquensis Johanson & Malm, H. dampfi Ross, H. incisa Ross, H. lewalleni Denning & Blickle, H. mexicana Banks, H. rentzi Denning & Blickle, H. selanderi Ross, H. truncata Ross, and H. vergelana Ross. The male genitalia of the new species are illustrated and distribution maps are provided for all species.
