On the Trichoptera of Batanta Island, West Papua, Indonesia, VII. New leptocerids

Abstract

Based on newly collected materials here we report new faunistic data for this diverse island and describe five new leptocerid species from the Batanta Island (Indonesia, West Papua, Raja Ampat Archipelago): Oecetis anyam Oláh, sp. nov., O. apam Oláh, sp. nov., O. batanta Oláh, sp. nov., Leptocerus batanta Oláh, sp. nov. Setodes sarlos Oláh, sp. nov. As well as to clear the taxonomic status of Oecetis anyam Oláh, sp. nov. it was necessary to survey the unsettled species group of Oecetis hemerobioides with description of new species from Indonesia, Sumba Island: Oecetis sumbaensis Oláh, sp. nov. and from the Cyclops Mountain of West Papua: Oecetis cyclopensis Oláh, sp. nov.
