Abstract

Helicopsyche agnetae, new species, is described and figured based on material collected in Hong Kong in May 2005. With this record two species of the family Helicopsychidae are known from China. The two Chinese species are probably sister species sharing several uniquely derived synapomorphies, and are separated from each other by features in the genitalia.
