| Abstract | scribed from New Caledonia (Johanson & Schefter 1999, Ross 1975). Ross (1975) described the males of H. edmundsi Ross, 1975, H. petersorum Ross, 1975, H. vallonia Ross, 1975, H. starmuehlneri Ross, 1975, H. caledonia Ross, 1975, H. lapidaria Ross, 1975, H. hollowayi Ross, 1975, H. boularia Ross, 1975, H. asymmetrica Ross, 1975, H. kariona Ross, 1975, H. arenaria Ross, 1975 and H. koumaca Ross, 1975. Johanson and Schefter (1999) re-described the males and included descriptions of the female sex, and larval and pupal stages as well. Ross (1975) separated the twelve species into four species groups. The vallonia-group includes H. vallonia and H. kariona; the edmundsigroup includes H. edmundsi, H. asymmetrica and H. petersorum; the lapidaria-group includes H. starmuehlneri, H. caledonia, H. lapidaria, H. boularia and H. hollowayi; and finally the arenaria-group includes H. koumaca and H. arenaria. The phylogenetic significance of this grouping is at present not evaluated. Johanson (1995, 1997 and 1998) indicated that New Caledonia is among the hot spots in Helicopsychidae, and detection of the species described herein supports the idea of such a hot spot. The aim of this work is to add knowledge to the genus Helicopsyche of New Caledonia. |
