A NEW SPECIES AND NEW SYNONYM IN THE GENUS PSYCHORONlA (LIMNEPHILIDAE), WITH SIGNIFICANT HECORDS FOR CADDISFLIES (TRlCHOPTERA) FROM WESTERN NORTH AMERICA

David E. Ruiterl

All~n·i1:\c.:T.-A new species of caddislly, PSljclll)ronia brooksi (Limncphilidae), is dl:SCribed from ew Mexico, and Psychorrmul brevipennis (Banks) 1904 is designated. as a junior synoll)'m of Psychoronia costll1is Banks 1901. Additional distIihutiOllul records and Ilot~ for 51 caddisHy species an::: also presented.
