Abstract
Montiphylax, a new genus within the Limnephilidae, is proposed to includePhilocascaalba,P.antennata, andP.thor. Characters for the adults and larvae are presented to separateMontiphylaxfromPhilocasca. A summary of the distribution and life history of theMontiphylaxspecies is provided. A key to ease separation of the known North American caddisfly larvae with gill clusters of single filaments is given.
