I have been working on freshwater macroinvertebrates since 2019. I have collected the specimen from north west Himalayan region. I am not able to identify the caddisfly (TRICOPTERA).
Try the following literature, I'm sure they would be of help, especially Wallace et al. (1990) and Edington and Hildrew (1995).
Macan, T. T. (1959). A guide to freshwater invertebrate animals. London: Longman.
Croft, P. S. (1986). A key to the major groups of British freshwater invertebrates. Field Studies, 6, 531–579.
