;
Givens & Smith (1980

Female
.
Diagnosis.
As stated by
Givens & Smith (1980, 8)
in a discussion of the male,
P. turbi nat
a
is most similar to
P. extensa
. This observation is supported by the similarity of the female genitalia (
Figs. 8a–c
,
5a–c
). The internal chitinous sinuous structures (
ist
; best seen in cleared genitalia) within the fused sternites IX and X are similar to those of
P. extensa
; however, the sternites VIII of
P. turbinata
are ellipsoidal, not ovoid as in
P. extensa
. Tergite IX in
P. turbinata
is expanded ventrolaterally in lateral view (
Fig. 8a
) and in
P. e xt e ns a
tergite IX is tapered ventrolaterally to a rectangular stem in lateral view (
Fig. 5a
). Females of
P. turbinata
are separated from
P. almota
,
P. e l s i s
, and
P. spinata
by tergum IX (
Fig. 8a
), which is divided on each side by a vertical suture, lacking in these latter 3 species.
Description.
See
Schmid (1968, 70, 74 fig. 119)
;
Givens (1976
, 55, 95 figs. 7a–c);
Givens & Smith (1980
, 8, 19 figs. 13a–c).
Pupa
.
Diagnosis.
The
P. turbinata
pupa can be distinguished from known pupae of other
Parapsyche
species by the shape of the apical processes (
Figs. 9a, b
). In caudal view, the lateral apices are rounded, the mesal apices acute, but not as acute as in
P. al m o t a
and
P. elsi
s
. The apices of the apical processes of
P. t u r bi n at a
(
Fig. 9b
) and
P
.
almota
are subequally long, distinguishing them from
P. spinata
and
P. e l s i s
, on which the apices are unequal, the lateral apices longer than the mesal apices (
Figs. 4a, b
,
7a, b
). The presence of a pair of sclerotized plates on segment IV, position IVp may be diagnostic for
P. t u r bi na t a
. The form of the caudoventral and anal areas of the apical processes of the male pupa will also serve to separate
P. turbinata
from
P. a l m o t a
(
Figs. 2b
,
9b
). Sternum VIII may have a pair of remnant submesal single gill filaments, that will separate
P. turbinata
from
P. a l m o t a
, which lacks gills on sternum VIII. Pupal mandibles (
Fig. 13
) are similar to those of
P. almota
(
Fig. 10
).

FIGURES 9a–b.

Schmid
, male pupal apical processes. 9a, left lateral; 9b, caudoventral.
Description.
Length 9.0 mm (N=2). Apical area of left pupal mandible with 4 subapical teeth, first 3 subequal, basal tooth larger; right mandible with 3 similar teeth subapically, with very small serrations basal to first basal tooth (
Fig. 13
). Hook plates (
Fig. 28
) present anteriorly on segments III–VII, posteriorly on segments III, IV and V. Hook plates IIIa each with 8–14 hooks, IIIp with 18–36, IVa with 3 or 4, IVp with 0, Va with 3–4, Vp with 14–18, VIa with 3–5, and VIIa with 4–7. Hook plates Vp oval with hooks very stout, pointing anterad; hook plates IIIp with hooks smaller, less stout (
Fig. 26
).
Abdominal apical processes yellowish brown, bifid, posterior lateral margins and concave caudal surfaces with numerous short spines, these spines on caudal surfaces increasing gradually in size apically (
Fig. 9b
). Patch of black
ls
setae laterally at bases of apical processes. Several
hl
setae present on the anterodorsal margin of apical processes (
Fig. 9a
). In caudal view apical margins of apical processes moderately concave (
Fig. 9b
). Apical processes recurved anterodorsad slightly less than 90° to axis of body (
Fig. 9a
). Apices of apical processes (
Fig. 9b
) subequally long; in caudal view, lateral apices rounded, mesal apices acute.
Pupal case
. Case length
10–13 mm
, width 4 or
5 mm
(N=4). Case constructed entirely of small pebbles, gravel and sand, all tightly packed into an apparently continuous layer. The inner silk puparium enclosing pupa attached to smooth inner surface of stones. Case cylindrical with ends rounded (
Fig. 33
).
Larva. Diagnosis.
The larva of
P. t u r bi n at a
can be distinguished from that of
P. extensa
by the absence of long, slender, tubular
sh
setae (
ls-ts
) (
Figs. 36a
,
38b
) and the structure and arrangement of lateral line gills (
Figs. 19
a, b, 21, 27). The presence of short, fluted, scale-hair setae (
f-sh
) (
Figs. 38a–d
) distinguish
P. turbinata
from all other western
Parapsyche
species. The longer scale hairs (
sh
) of
P. turbinata
are twisted (
tw-sh
) (
Fig. 38b
), unlike the long, cross-striated
sh
(
ls-ts
) of
P. spinata
(
Figs. 37a, 37c
). The broad and subrectangular ventral apotome of
P
.
turbinata
(
Fig. 18
) is similar to that of
P. spinata
(
Fig. 17
), and distinctly different from the narrower subrectangular to triangular ventral apotomes of
P. extensa
and
P. e l s i s
(
Figs. 15, 16
) and ventral apotome with the flared posterior margin of
P. a l m o t a
(fig. 14). Lateral line gills of
P
.
turbinata
are similar to those of
P. al m o t a
and
P. spinata
(
Figs. 19
a, b), however the number of filaments per gill appears to be more variable in
P. turbinata
than in the other western North American
Parapsyche
species, most variable on abdominal segment VII (
Fig. 27
).

Distribution.
Parapsyche turbinata
has been collected in the Cascade Range in Oregon and California and in the Sierra Nevada of California, south to Yosemite National Park.
Bionomics.
Parapsyche turbinata
has been collected at 62–
2,135 m
elevation. Emergence is from mid-March to late July. In general, emergence of adults of
P. t u r bi n at a
occurs at lower altitudes in March, April, and May, at higher altitudes in June and July. Water temperatures in June, July and early August of 2011, 2012, and 2013 ranged from 7.7o C–11.6o C at higher elevations. August temperatures at lower elevations (near sea level) averaged 12o C.
Parapsyche turbinata
generally occupies streams that are shallow (7.6–30.5 cm deep) and narrow (0.61–3.05 m wide), and slow moving (
Givens & Smith 1980
). The substratum is composed primarily of gravel, sand, and mud, with a matrix of mixed plant debris (leaves, twigs, bark, wood).
Parapsyche turbinata
is sympatric with
P. elsis
and
P. spinata
.
