Caddisfly
The caddisflies, or order Trichoptera, are a group of insects with aquatic larvae and terrestrial adults. There are approximately 14,500 described species, most of which can be divided into the suborders Integripalpia and Annulipalpia on the basis of the adult mouthparts. Integripalpian larvae construct a portable casing to protect themselves as they move around looking for food, while Annulipalpian larvae make themselves a fixed retreat in which they remain, waiting for food to come to them. The affinities of the small third suborder Spicipalpia are unclear, and molecular analysis suggests it may not be monophyletic. Also called sedge-flies or rail-flies, the adults are small moth-like insects with two pairs of hairy membranous wings. They are closely related to the Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) which have scales on their wings; the two orders together form the superorder Amphiesmenoptera. The aquatic larvae are found in a wide variety of habitats such as streams, river ...

Kokiriidae
Kokiriidae is a family of insect in the order Trichoptera. It was discovered in 1964 and is found in Australia, Chile, New Caledonia, and New Zealand. It consists of fifteen species and six genera. History It was originally erected in 1964 as the subfamily of Kokiriinae and discovered the species ''Kokiria miharo'', from New Zealand, but was soon reclassified as a family in 1967 by H. H. Ross and added the Chilean species, ''Rhynchopsyche fusca'', to the new family. Arturs Neboiss described the Australian species ''Tanjistomella verna'' and the New Caledonian genus ''Mecynostomella'' in 1974. In the same year, he described two other Australian genera, ''Taskiria'' and ''Taskiropsyche''. O.S. Flint Jr. considered the species ''Rhynchopsyche fusca'' to be a junior synonym of the species ''Pangullia faziana''.Flint, p. 5., pp. 45–68. K.A. Johanson revised the genera, ''Mecynostomella'', which increased the family size to fifteen species and six genera.Johanson, pp. 1–24, ...

Leptoceridae
The family Leptoceridae are a family of caddisflies often called "long-horned caddisflies". Leptoceridae is the second largest family of caddisflies with more than 1500 species in around 45 genera. The main identifying feature of most Leptoceridae is that their antennae are longer than those of other caddisflies. There is one genus with short antennae (''Ceraclea''), but it is easily identified by the pair of dark curved lines on the mesonotum. The type genus for Leptoceridae is ''Leptocerus'' W.E. Leach, 1815. Genera These 53 genera belong to the family Leptoceridae: * '' Achoropsyche'' Holzenthal, 1984 * '' Adicella'' McLachlan, 1877 * '' Amazonatolica'' Holzenthal & Pes, 2004 * '' Amphoropsyche'' Holzenthal, 1985 * '' Atanatolica'' Mosely, 1936 * '' Athripsodes'' Billberg, 1820 * '' Axiocerina'' Ross, 1957 * '' Blyzophilus'' Anderson, Kjaerandsen, & Morse, 1999 * '' Brachysetodes'' Schmid, 1955 * '' Ceraclea'' Stephens, 1829 * '' Condocerus'' Neboiss, 1977 * '' Creterotesi ...

Insect Superfamilies
Insects (from Latin ') are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body ( head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. Their blood is not totally contained in vessels; some circulates in an open cavity known as the haemocoel. Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. The total number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million; In: potentially over 90% of the animal life forms on Earth are insects. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, which are dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans, which recent research has indicated insects are nested within. Nearly all insects hatch from eg ...
