Shackleton (LTUT 723 - 12) (NMV TRI- 54702). Diagnosis. As for the generic diagnosis with the following additions. Male genitalia with segment X median lobe elongate, longer than lateral lobes (figs 2, 3). Larva distinguishable from larvae of the two other species in the genus by the absence of small anterior sclerites on the prosternum, the more strongly developed brush of small spines apically on the hind legs (fig. 14) and the reddish-brown head and thorax (fig. 11). Collection of additional larval specimens of the two undescribed species may show these larval characters to not be as diagnostic. Description. Revised after Neboiss (1974). As for the generic description with the following. Antennae rami dark brown, antennal segments yellowish. Forewings irregularly mottled greyish brown, a distinct pale oval spot close to wing margin within fork 3, smaller and less conspicuous ones between the veins above and below it (fig. 1); R 1 joins R 2 in males and females although R 1 joins the wing margin instead in most specimens collected near Kiandra (fig. 5) and a few from Sassafras Gap. Male genitalia: segment X median lobe laterally compressed, lobe longer than lateral lobes; lateral lobes flat, somewhat truncate in lateral view; phallus comes to a point apically, curved downwards ventrally; inferior appendages somewhat truncate distally in ventral view, irregular or with a concavity (rarely 2) apically in some specimens (figs 2, 3). Female. Antennal rami on segments 3 to 11, 12, or 13, rami less than half the length of those in males. Forewings with forks 1 to 5 present, forks 3 and 4 on long footstalks, hind wings similar to male (fig. 5). Sternite VIII with a band of short pale setae along posterior margin (figs 6, 7). Genitalia: tergite IX very broad and sclerotised dorsally, narrowly cleft mesally, medial notch on posterior margin. With a pair of depressions laterally on segment, with a weak carina along dorsal margin of each. Sternite IX with triangular sclerotised area on anterior half of segment, fleshy laterally and posteriorly (figs 6 – 9). Simple, apical lobes fused with segment X or lost. Pupa. Head with a pair of prominent rounded, tuberculate warts on the frons taking up most of the width of the frons which are similar to, but more prominent than, those of Aphilorheithrus and Kosrheithrus; a pair of long setae dorsally medially on the head between the antennae, a second pair just dorsal to the tuberculate warts (fig. 18), labrum with 3 pairs of setae in each dorsolateral corner; mandibles bladelike in apical half, narrowing to a point, straight and serrate on inner margin, rounded and smooth on outer margin, with a pair of medium length setae basally (fig. 19); each scape with medium length setae, 1 pair mesal dorsal and 1 pair distal ventral (fig. 18). Legs without swimming fringes, rarely a weak fringe on at least one mid leg. Abdomen with pairs of anterior dorsal hook plates on segments 3 and 4 each with 2 to 4 teeth, segments 5, 6 and 7 each with 3 to 6 teeth; pair of posterior hook plates on segment 5 each composed of a row of 16 to 25 spines, many bifid (usually different number on each side) covering most of the width of the segment and with a short gap between each plate, spines as long as plates (fig. 20). Last abdominal segment elongate subtriangular, with 2 pairs of long setae mesally, ventrally (fig. 21). Anal processes as for the family: lightly sclerotised, long, very narrow and slightly curved apically, each with a short dark pigment band close to the apex and without setae (figs. 20, 21). Larval case with anterior pupal closure a disc of silk without any openings holding on a capping stone. Larva. As for diagnosis. Final instar larva head capsule width across eyes 1.3 to 1.4 mm. Remarks. Note that the variation found in wing and genitalic structures of the male were found in all populations.	en	St Clair, Rosalind M (2021): The unusual genus Ramiheithrus (Trichoptera: Philorheithridae).

03E23F58FFAE5262FF4DFF4E8CB6FB37.taxon	description	Figures 22 – 23 Type Material. Holotype male: Tasmania. Small creek in forest, Corinna. 5 November 1972. A. Neboiss and G. Kocins (NMV TRI- 4567). 1 Paratype collected with holotype (NMV TRI- 4568). Other Material Examined. Tasmania. Creek crossing Gordon River Road. 42.887 ° S 146.379 ° E, 11 January 2012, 1 male (LTUT 1103 - 12) (NMV TRI- 54701) M. Shackleton and J. Mynott. Diagnosis. As for the generic diagnosis with the following additions. Male genitalia with segment X median lobe broad, shorter than lateral lobes (fig. 22). Description. Revised after Neboiss (1974). As for the generic description with the following. Type specimens blackish with faint paler irregular mottling on forewings of which the most conspicuous is a pale area covering cross veins s, r-m and m, and extending along back along M 1 about half the length of the wing. Gordon River Road specimen greyish brown with indistinct white mottling and spots, forewing 9 to 9.5 mm long. R 2 joining R 3 in type specimens only, fork 1 with or without a short footstalk. Forewings of male with vein A 2 long in type specimens, short in Gordon River Road specimen (fig. 23). Male genitalia. Phallus broad apically; segment X lateral lobes with a few moderately long spines medially; inferior appendages come to a slight point laterally (fig. 22). Female, pupa and larva unknown. Remarks. This species is known from only two specimens from the type locality and one specimen from a site (Gordon River Road) about 170 km southeast of the type locality. DNA information is only available for the southern specimen. There is some variation in wing colour and venation and male genitalia but with so few specimens available they are considered conspecific for now.	en	St Clair, Rosalind M (2021): The unusual genus Ramiheithrus (Trichoptera: Philorheithridae).

03E23F58FFAE5262FCE8FE33880DFC69.taxon	description	As for the larval generic diagnosis and description with the following additions. Description. Larval head capsule yellowish brown, width across eyes 1.4 mm, body length 12 mm. The only mid leg on the one specimen has the remnant tibial spine about 1 / 3 as long as that of R. virgatus; prosternum with pair of small sclerites immediately anterior to the large central sclerite (fig. 24). These characters may not enable separation from larvae of other species when variation within each species is known. Philorheithrus larvae also show almost no variation between the three species recognised (Henderson and Ward, 2006). Material examined.
