Identity of the Hydropsychid Larva Known as "Oropsyche?": The Immature Stages of Homoplectra flinti Weaver

Collections of pharate pupae, pupae, and pharate adults of the larva tentatively assigned to Oropsyche by G. B. Wiggins (Larvae of the North American caddisfly genera, University of Toronto Press, 1977) have revealed that these larvae are actually those of Homoplectra flinti Weaver. At present the immature stages and habitat of Oropsyche remain unknown. The larval retreat and pupa of H. flinti are described and figured.
