Abstract

Descriptions, keys and a checklist are provided for males of 11 ecnomid caddisfly species, all new to Australia. Females of 4 species are also described. These are placed in the genus Austrotinodes Schmid. The new species are: Austrotinodes bibu, A. bifurcatus, A. camurus, A. doota, A. glaya, A. gorom, A. mubar, A. pandus, A. theischingeri, A. varus and A. yalga.
