Radiation of the microcaddisfly genus Orthotrichia (Trichoptera, Hydroptilidae) in Australia by Alice Wells

“…In an attempt to understand the radiation of the genus in Australia, this paper explores the morphology and biology of Australian species and discusses a number of contrasts with reports on the biology of congeners in the Northern Hemisphere. The possible significance of these differences in Australian representatives of the genus is suggested to have played a role in the ‘success’ of the genus in the region. …”
