Abstract

A new species of the snail-case caddisfly, Helicopsyche (Feropsyche) imperial Silva-Pereira, Desidério, Pereira & Hamada subgenus Helicopsyche (Feropsyche), is described and illustrated based on adult males from a protected and preserved area in the Cerrado biome in Federal District, Central West Region, Brazil. The new species can be recognized mainly by the morphology of tergum X in the dorsal view and inferior appendages in the ventral view. In addition, new records are provided for H. (Feropsyche) vergelana and H. (Cochliopsyche) opalescens. The discovery of the new species and the new record of H. vergelana are the first records of H. (Feropsyche) from the Central West Region of Brazil.
