Abstract

A new genus and seven new species of the caddisfly families Polycentropodidae, Ecnomidae, Hydroptilidae, Phryganeidae and Leptoceridae (Archaeotinodes malickyi sp. nov., Archaeoneureclipsis martynovi sp. nov., Polycentropus grigorenkoi sp. nov., Oxyethira lurida sp. nov., Orthotrichia umbra sp. nov., Eotrichostegia retrograda gen. & sp. nov., Erotesis bessylenon sp. nov.) from the Rovno Amber (Upper Eocene, Ukraine) are described. A list of fossil Trichoptera known from the Rovno Amber is given.
