This review of the status of Australian caddisflies focuses on publications from 1982 to 2022. Information is provided on new species described in that period, new keys, new descriptions of both adults and larvae, and the distribution of families and genera from states/regions and the Northern Territory. Australia’s caddisfly fauna now totals 27 families, 111 genera and 868 species, with 97.9% of species endemic to Australia (only 19 of the 868 species are known from outside Australia, mainly from the nearby island of New Guinea – Papua New Guinea and Papua Province, Indonesia); some species also extend into New Zealand and South-East Asia. The biogeography of the Australian fauna is discussed briefly in terms of “northern” and “southern” faunal elements, faunal provinces, distributional barriers, areas of highest biodiversity and refuge areas. Northern and southern elements in the Australian Trichoptera fauna are indicated. The highest biodiversity is recorded in the following states/regions: New South Wales with 263 species, northern Queensland (N-Qld) with 248 species and Victoria with 247 species. The highest endemicity is in southern Western Australia (S-WA), with 73% endemic species, followed by N-Qld with 58% and Tasmania with 57%. The lowest numbers of species have been recorded from South Australia and S-WA, with 42 and 49 species respectively.
