sp. n., especially due to their sympatric distributions and relatively minor morphological differences. Unfortunately, the range of variation for the 2 species has not been fully established and specimens from some localities may not be currently diagnosable if they do not conform closely to the holotypes for the 2 species (see remarks section following the species description). The holotype of

is apparent at the point of articulation between the dorsal and ventral lobes; this is distinctly more noticeable than in

due to the sharper angle of articulation. Also, as compared to
<taxonomicName class="Insecta" family="Leptoceridae" genus="Oecetis" higherTaxonomySource="CoL" kingdom="Animalia" lsidName="Oecetis houghtoni" order="Trichoptera" pageId="17" pageNumber="18" phylum="Arthropoda" rank="species" species="houghtoni">Oecetis houghtoni</taxonomicName>
, the phallobase is usually more distinctly sclerotized and arched ventrally, with its apex strongly downturned and very finely striate, often with the extreme apex slightly ridged or burred. Unfortunately, characters of the phallobase are subtle and also variable within the 2 species and thus may not always be completely diagnostic. Although the holotype of

co-occur, sometimes at the same location. In Minnesota the 2 species are distinguishable by color attributes and also by minor genitalic characters. Available COI barcode data are consistent with the recognition of 2 species and conform to the morphological differences noted (Fig. 58). Only a limited amount of material from other localities in North America was examined. Some material examined from other localities conformed to the differences noted in the holotypes of the 2 species, and these are included in the materials examined list above, but specimens from other localities could not always be confidently identified. This may either represent variation within the 2 species, or additional unidentified species. A more extensive study of North American material is necessary to determine this, but was outside the scope of the current study. Figs 28 and 29-30 illustrate some of the variation encountered.
