Summary
This paper proposes a phylogenetic tree of the subfamily Hydropsychinae by comparing the morphology of male genitalia and analysing geotropical distribution of all genera of the subfamily. This subfamily seems to originate from the Australian region and spread through the Indo-Malayan region northwards to the Palearctic then to the Nearctic region westwards to the Ethiopan region. Genus Smicridea may be the most primitive type survival. The genus Hydropsyche developed directly from it. Other genera developed from a ’median body’, then split into two branches: Ceratopsyche branch and Cheumatopsyche branch. A list of 46 species (23 species new to Science) of Chinese Hydropsychinae belonging to 8 genera (one genus new to Science) is also presented.
