Orthopsyche is a genus of caddisflies belonging to the family Hydropsychidae.[1] The genus was described by Alex G. McFarlane in 1976.[2] Species of Orthopsyche can be found in New Zealand and New Caledonia.

Taxonomy

Orthopsyche was first proposed as a genus in 1976 by Alex G. McFarlane, including two species previously identified as Hydropsyche. McFarlane named Orthopsyche fimbriata (McLachlan, 1862) as the type species.[3] Phylogenetic analysis indicates that Orthopsyche forms a clade with the genus Aoteapsyche.[4]

In 2006, János Oláh, Kjell Arne Johanson and Peter C. Barnard greatly expanded Orthopsyche, by synonymising Abacaria Mosely 1941, and Caledopsyche Kimmins 1953, and describing 29 new species.[5] In 2008, Oláh and Johanson further proposed that Aoteapsyche was a symonym of Orthopsyche.[6]

Distribution

The genus is found in New Zealand and New Caledonia.[1][6]
