Two new species of the caddisfly genus Ross, 1938 (Polycentropodidae) are described from the lowland Amazon basin of Ecuador, , new species, and , new species. These represent the first new species described from this region. We also record from Ecuador for the first time Flint, previously known from Tobago, and present new Ecuadorian locality records for . Flint, and . Santos & Nessimian. The homology of the intermediate appendage of the male genitalia of this genus is established. The region surveyed is under severe environmental threat from logging, mining, and crude oil extraction, making the description of the biodiversity of the region imperative.
本文描述了采自厄瓜多尔低地亚马逊流域的毛翅目（Polycentropodidae）Ross属1938年的两个新物种，即[新物种名称1]和[新物种名称2]。这些是该地区首次描述的新物种。我们还首次在厄瓜多尔记录到了此前仅在多巴哥发现的弗林特[物种名称]，并给出了厄瓜多尔境内[物种名称1]、弗林特[物种名称]和[物种名称2]·桑托斯与内西米安的新分布地点记录。本文确定了该属雄性生殖器中间附肢的同源性。所调查区域正面临来自伐木、采矿和原油开采的严重环境威胁，因此对该地区生物多样性进行描述势在必行。
