Himalopsyche Banks, 1940 View in CoL

Himalopsyche Banks, 1940: 173–220 View in CoL . Type species: Rhyacophila tibetana Martynov. Original View in CoL designation.

Himalophanes Banks, 1940: 201. Type species: Himalopsyche (Himalophanes) anomala Banks. Original View in CoL designation.

The diagnostic features of Himalopsyche include: metascutellum with spiniferous warts; the venation is similar to that of Rhyacophila except forewing veins R and M curve backward so that R 4 and R 5 are on each side of the wing apex; the discoidal cell is open in both fore and hind wings; and the abdomen lacks ventral process.

Schmid & Botosaneanu (1966) divided Himalopsyche into two distinct groups ( H. kuldschensis group and H. tibetana group) and five subgroups ( H. kuldschensis , H. angnorbui , H. navasi , H. tibetana and H. anomala subgroups).
