1. Cheumatopsyche pali species group

The species in this species group are characterised by the presence of elongate preanal appendages ( Fig. 1). This character is present in only a few hydropsychine genera ( Hydromanicus , Hydatopsyche ), and occurs only in this Cheumatopsyche species group. Four species belong to this group: C. comorina ( Navás, 1931) from the Comoro Islands, C. vala Malicky, 1992 from Anjuan Island, C. mattheei Mey, 1992 from Kenya, and C. pali , new species from Madagascar. This species group populates the region around Madagascar.
