The Trichoptera Types of Species described by J. Curtis.

Abstract

Curtis collection of British Trichoptera contains 491 specimens, and occupies 3 cabinet drawers. From this material 72 lectoholotypes and 21 lectoallotypes are now designated and represent 45 valid species. The only Trichoptera type not located is that of Tinodes hirtipes which was one of a small collection of Arctic insects collected by Sir James Clark Ross. 84 specific names proposed by Curtis in the order Trichoptera are listed alphabetically, accompanied by the present taxonomic interpretation, followed by the original description, general discussion and information about the type locality.
