Prior to 2016, three species of caddisflies in the genus (Trichoptera: Hydroptilidae) were known from Panama. Subsequently, one new species and four new country records were added to Panama's fauna. Herein, four new species are described ( , , , ) and two new country records added for Panama ( Flint, 1996, Thomson & Holzenthal, 2015). The resulting total of 14 species makes Panama the most species-rich country for this genus. Panama's species assemblage is most similar to Costa Rica and Mexico. However, the similarities among faunas in all these countries is very low (< 35%). Thus, more new country records are possible with additional collecting. Recent collections (2015-2021) of new caddisfly species and country records in this genus were effected primarily by use of Malaise traps. Our collections also evidenced multiple species from the same collecting site, with seven species each found in both lowland and mid-altitude sites. Investigation of the distribution of species with altitude reveals a preference by several species for higher altitude locations. Additional Malaise trap collections over extended time periods are needed to verify the validity of all observations and preliminary conclusions made to date.
2016年之前，巴拿马已知有该属（毛翅目：纹石蛾科）的三种石蛾。随后，一种新物种和四个新的国家记录被添加到巴拿马的动物区系中。在此，描述了四个新物种（ 、 、 、 ），并为巴拿马增加了两个新的国家记录（弗林特，1996年；汤姆森和霍尔曾塔尔，2015年）。由此产生的总共14个物种使巴拿马成为该属物种最丰富的国家。巴拿马的物种组合与哥斯达黎加和墨西哥最为相似。然而，所有这些国家动物区系之间的相似性非常低（<35%）。因此，通过进一步的采集可能会有更多新的国家记录。最近（2015 - 2021年）该属新石蛾物种和国家记录的采集主要是通过使用马氏网诱捕器进行的。我们的采集还证明了同一采集地点有多个物种，在低地和中海拔地区都各发现了七种物种。对物种海拔分布的调查显示，有几种物种偏好较高海拔的地点。需要在更长的时间段内进行更多的马氏网诱捕器采集，以验证迄今为止所有观察结果和初步结论的有效性。
