Abstract

Prior to this publication, six species of microcaddisflies in the genus Rhyacopsyche (Trichoptera: Hydroptilidae) had been recorded from Ecuador. Herein, we describe five new species: Rhyacopsyche abdita sp. nov., Rhyacopsyche bellavista sp. nov., Rhyacopsyche decouxi sp. nov., Rhyacopsyche patula sp. nov., and Rhyacopsyche tumida sp. nov. Illustrations of male genitalia are provided with each description. This work brings the total number of Rhyacopsyche species in Ecuador to eleven, and the world total to 37.
