Schefter PW, Wiggins GB, Unzicker JD. 1986. A Proposal for Assignment of Ceratopsyche as a Subgenus of Hydropsyche, with New Synonyms and a New Species (Trichoptera:Hydropsychidae). Journal of the North American Benthological Society. 5(1):67-84
ABSTRACT: The Hydropsyche morosa group is recognized as Hydropsyche subgenus Ceratopsyche. Through study of type specimens and of series collected over much of the range, geographic variation is assessed in Hydropsyche (C .) alhedra Ross and Hydropsyche (C .) cockerelli Banks. Hydropsyche (C.) racona Denning and H. (C.) riola Denning are designated as junior subjective synonyms of H. (C.) alhedra; and H. (C.) bicornuta Denning and H. (C.) jewetti Denning as junior subjective synonyms of H. (C.) cockerelli. Revised diagnoses are given for the two species. Diagnosis and description are provided for the male and female of Hydropsyche (C .) aenigma n. sp. from New York State; this species is contrasted with its close relatives H. (C.) alternans (Walker) and H. (C.) centra Ross
