Abstract

Six new species of Austrotinodes Schmid (Trichoptera: Ecnomidae) from the Neotropics are described: A. abrachium (Brazil), A. belchioris (Brazil), A. boliviensis (Bolivia), A. cressae (Venezuela), A. longispinum (Brazil), and A. taquaralis (Brazil). Illustrations of male genitalia are provided. These additions bring the total world fauna of Austrotinodes to 55 species.
