Abstract

Although caddisfly (Trichoptera) cases and adults are fairly abundant in the fossil record, fossils of the immature stages, particularly insights into the pupal stage, are exceedingly rare. Herein we report the discovery of a fossil caddisfly pupa, putatively of the family Vitimotauliidae, from Early Cretaceous deposits in northeastern China. This is the first fossil trichopteran pupa to have been described from China.
