Adicrophleps
Adicrophleps is a monotypic genus of caddisflies in the family Brachycentridae, established by Flint in 1965. The genus contains a single described species, A. hitchcocki. Members are classified as "humpless casemaker" caddisflies, distinguishing them from the "humped" Brachycentrinae subfamily.
Amiocentrus
humpless casemaker caddisflies
Amiocentrus is a genus of caddisflies (order Trichoptera) in the family Brachycentridae, commonly referred to as humpless casemaker caddisflies. The genus was established by Ross in 1938 and contains at least two described species: Amiocentrus aspilus and Amiocentrus tessellatum. Members of this genus are aquatic insects whose larvae construct portable cases from plant material.
Amiocentrus aspilus
humpless casemaker caddisfly
Amiocentrus aspilus is a species of caddisfly in the family Brachycentridae, commonly referred to as the humpless casemaker caddisflies. It is known from North America and belongs to a genus whose larvae construct distinctive portable cases using plant material. The species was described by Ross in 1938. Like other brachycentrids, it is associated with freshwater habitats.
Brachycentrus appalachia
Apple Caddis, humpless casemaker caddisfly
Brachycentrus appalachia is a species of humpless casemaker caddisfly described by Flint in 1984. It belongs to the family Brachycentridae, a group of caddisflies characterized by larvae that construct portable cases from plant material. The species is known from North America, with its specific epithet suggesting association with the Appalachian region. Like other members of its genus, it is presumed to have an aquatic larval stage and terrestrial adult stage.
Brachycentrus lateralis
humbles casemaker caddisfly
Brachycentrus lateralis is a species of caddisfly in the family Brachycentridae, commonly known as the humpless casemaker caddisfly. It was first described by Thomas Say in 1823. The species is found in North America and belongs to a family whose larvae construct portable cases from plant material.
Micrasema
humpless casemaker caddisflies
Micrasema is a genus of caddisflies (order Trichoptera) in the family Brachycentridae, commonly referred to as humpless casemaker caddisflies. The genus contains more than 70 described species. Larvae are aquatic and construct portable cases from plant material. At least one species, Micrasema quadriloba, has been studied as a grazing insect in stream ecosystems.
Micrasema bactro
humpless casemaker caddisfly
Micrasema bactro is a species of caddisfly in the family Brachycentridae, commonly known as the humpless casemaker caddisfly. It was described by Ross in 1938. The species is known from North America and belongs to a family whose larvae construct distinctive portable cases from plant material.
Micrasema wataga
humpless casemaker caddisfly
Micrasema wataga is a species of caddisfly in the family Brachycentridae, commonly known as humpless casemaker caddisflies. The species was described by Ross in 1938 and is known from North America. Like other members of Brachycentridae, larvae construct portable cases from plant material. The species is represented by minimal observational records.
