Revision of the Oriental and Afrotropical species of Cheumatopsyche Wallengren (Hydropsychidae, Trichoptera)

The Oriental and Afrotropical species of the caddisfly genus Cheumatopsyche are revised. The following species are described as new: C. abhugna, C. acuminata, C. agha, C. agnetae, C. akisena, C. ambala, C. ambodivoa, C. ambohima, C. amdakaramaya, C. ampanga, C. andohahela, C. asaha, C. ayopa, C. balaromta, C. bidikala, C. bohakayi, C. bolosa, C. brazzana, C. camerunica, C. chirapali, C. doan, C. ecsedii, C. ekona, C. engor, C. fahara, C. galumata, C. hoasena, C. imatso, C. joariva, C. junolahi, C. kala, C. kim, C. kindamba, C. kumasa, C. kysonia, C. lolo, C. mahakaya, C. malmi, C. mandrara, C. mendolonga, C. meo, C. namha, C. nohondoan, C. oktedit, C. padaha, C. pali, C. parafra, C. quadrifasciata, C. ranomafana, C. rienga, C. rineta, C. sambava, C. saplaca, C. septa, C. sipitanga, C. songbua, C. songda, C. suswanad, C. tanana, C. timgulile, C. usambara, C. vacoana, and C. zao. The following species are re-described based on examination of the holotypes: C. brevilineata (Iwata, 1927), C. brunnea Jacquemart, 1961, C. chihonana Kobayashi, 1987, C. chinensis (Martynov, 1930), C. curvata Martynov, 1935, C. flavosulphurea Mey, 1998, C. galloisi (Matsumura, 1931), C. gibbsi Statzner, 1984, C. infascia Martynov, 1934, C. opposita (Banks, 1931), C. pulverulenta Gibbs, 1973, C. sagitta Kobayashi, 1987, C. taipeiana Kobayashi, 1987, and C. uchidai Kobayashi, 1987. Cheumatopsyche congolana nom. n. is suggested replacing the junior secondary homonym C. bimaculata (Jacquemart, 1966) and C. jacquemarti nom. n. is suggested replacing the junior secondary homonym C. brunnea (Jacquemart, 1963). The following synonyms are established: C. rhodesiana (Jacquemart) is a new synonym of C. afra (Mosely), C. daurensis Ivanov is a new synonym of C. brevilineata (Iwata), C. striata Jacquemart is a new synonym of C. sexfasciata (Ulmer), and C. banksi Mosely is a new synonym of C. chinensis (Martynov). In addition, new species records are presented for 28 species. Due to the lack of available material 29 species remain incertae sedis. Keys and a pictorial atlas are presented for quick identification of the species groups. In the description of new species a standardised genital terminology scheme is established. For rapid species determination a pictorial atlas is included for all species having a definite forewing membrane pattern.
