Remarks.
The larvae clearly key to this genus, but collection of adults or pharate adults is required for confirmation of identity. Larvae of
Tricholeiochiton
generally live among aquatic macrophytes and, like other members of the subfamily
Hydroptilinae
, feed on filamentous green algae according to
Marshall (1979)
.
