Limnephilidae

There are currently about 46 species in 17 genera recorded for the state of Michigan. Several other previously unrecorded species have recently been collected in Michigan (Brian Armitage, personal communication; Entomological News, submitted), so this total will soon be revised.

Species denoted in bold blue have been recorded from Michigan, based on literature records, examined museum specimens or personal collection. Species in normal font are likely to be found in Michigan, based on the species known range. Species denoted with " • " and indented are synonomized with the unindented species name listed directly above it.
