FIGS. 14 –15. Limnephilus santanus Ross (Limnephilidae) (OR: INHS). 14, Holotype male, genitalia: a, lateral; b,<br />

dorsal; c, caudal; d, phallus, lateral; e, phallus, dorsal; 15, Allotype female, genitalia: a, lateral; b, ventral.<br />

<strong>the</strong>se specimens have been re-examined in light <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> information now available for <strong>the</strong>se<br />

2 species, and <strong>the</strong>y are L. fumosus. Nimmo’s list <strong>of</strong> Alaskan Trichoptera (1986) includes<br />

L. fumosus based on earlier records from <strong>the</strong> literature, and also L. santanus based on material
