Biology:Alloecentrella
Alloecentrella is a genus of caddisflies belonging to the order Trichoptera.[1] The genus was first recognised by Keith Arthur John Wise in 1958.[2]
Taxonomy
Wise originally considered the genus to be within the family Beraeidae.[2] The genus was created because Wise could not place the type specimen, Alloecentrella magnicornis, into any pre-existing genera due to morphological differences of the discoidal cell in the anterior wing of the species.[2] The genus was monotypic until 2007, when three new species were described.[3]
Since 1978 the genus has been placed in family Calocidae. Henderson & Ward (2007) argued that Alloecentrella should be placed within Helicophidae,[3] something supported by a phylogenetic analysis in 2008.[4]
Distribution
The genus is endemic to New Zealand.[2] A. incisus and A. magnicornis are found in the North Island,[3] while A. cirratus and A. linearis are found on the South Island.[3]
