Abstract
DNA sequence libraries (mitochondrial COI barcode and nuclear 28S D2) are built for Chinese caddisflies, a fauna largely under-studied. These independent DNA sequences are used to associate larvae and adults of Chinese Hydropsychidae. As the first part of the result of this work, Arctopsyche shimianensis Gui and Yang, 2000 and Parapsyche sp. A are associated with their adults across both gene markers. Probable association is also made for Diplectrona obscura Ulmer, 1930. Larval descriptions and illustrations are provided for all three species for the first time.References
