“…Trichoptera have larvae and pupae that are almost exclusively aquatic (Morse 2017); Philocascademita Ross (Limnephilidae) and Manophylax (Madeophylax) spp. are some exceptions (Schmid 1998, Chuluunbat et al 2010). Mackay and Wiggins (1979) suggest that the high trichopteran diversity was driven by the larval secretion of silk, which provided opportunities to exploit different ecological niches.…”

Trichoptera, or caddisflies, are common members of freshwater ecosystems as larvae and are important indicators of aquatic system health. As such, the species are relatively well studied, with keys available for larvae and adults of many of the taxa occurring in Canada. The number of species recorded from Canada since 1979 (Wiggins 1979) has increased from 546 to 636, an increase of 16.4%. Of those species newly recorded, 17 represent newly described taxa since 1979. Taking into consideration the species likely to be subsequently found in Canada based on records in adjacent parts of the United States and results from DNA barcoding, an estimated 129–181 species remain to be documented in Canada.
