Genus Hydromanicus Brauer 1865

Hydromanicus Brauer 1865: 420 ; type species: Hydromanicus irroratus Brauer 1865: 420 (monobasic).

Hydatopsyche Ulmer 1926: 45 ; type species: Hydatopsyche melli Ulmer 1926 (original designation). Synonymized with Hydromanicus by Oláh & Johanson 2008: 14. Synonymized with Hydropsyche by Geraci et al. 2010: 926.

Description. S pur formula 2,4,4. Medium-sized insects with most species having long preanal appendages in comparison with those of other hydropsychines ( Figs 1 , 6, 7 ), although in some species these appendages are reduced. In each forewing, distance between cross-veins m-cu and cu long; in each hind wing, cross-vein m-cu present and clearly visible, forks I–III and V present.
