Kokiriidae

Kokiriidae is a family of insect in the order Trichoptera.

It was discovered in 1964 and is found in Australia, Chile, New Caledonia, and New Zealand.

It was originally erected in 1964 as the subfamily of Kokiriinae and discovered the species Kokiria miharo, from New Zealand, but was soon reclassified as a family in 1967 by H. H. Ross and added the Chilean species, Rhynchopsyche fusca, to the new family.

[1] Arturs Neboiss described the Australian species Tanjistomella verna and the New Caledonian genus Mecynostomella in 1974.

[4] The larvae are predatory and live on the small, sandy banks of streams and rivers.
