Extract

Most of the published references to Newfoundland caddisflies are derived from one early paper by Nathan Ranks in 1908. Several collections received recently, however, have considerably extended knowledge of the Newfoundland caddisfly fauna. As might be expected, many of the species occurring in Newfoundland also extend across the whole of northern North America, and to some extent southward along the montane areas in both east and west. Some of these also occur throughout the holarctic area. Some of the species are, however, confined to northeastern North America. There are no species of caddisflies now known which are confined to the island of Newfoundland.
