Abstract
Descriptions, keys and a checklist are provided for males of 13 new species of ecnomid caddisflies from Australia. Females of 10 of these species are also described. The species are placed in two new genera, Absensomina gen. nov. and Wellsomina gen. nov. The new species are: A. weara, W. ampulla, W. baru, W. bucera, W. furca, W. gumurr, W. jalgoodoo, W. mattina, W. naumanni, W. saeta, W. stuarti, W. tam and W. thigi. Generic separation is based on female genitalic and wing features, supported by small differences in head warts and male genitalic characteristics. Both of the genera treated here are endemic to northern Australia.
