New species and records of Trichoptera collected by Mr. A. G. Duff. More phenomics and less genomics!

Abstract

Seven species are recorded and ten new species are described from Oriental, Afrotropical and Neotropical Fauna Regions: Abacaria dufforum sp. nov., Cyrnellus kesken sp. nov., C. kozepes sp. nov., Orthotrichia palama sp. nov., Marilia annae sp. nov., Phylloicus kinovos sp. nov., Atanatolica homora sp. nov., Oecetis fura sp. nov., O. siska sp. nov., Contulma duffi sp. nov. Based on theoretical outline of how to delineate young incipient sibling species with more phenomics and less genomics, the new species complex of Oecetis amazonica is erected as well as an instantiated failure of neutral DNA markers are presented on Allogamus auricollis and A. alpinus siblings.
