Updated checklist of the Michigan (USA) caddisflies, with regional and habitat affinities

Based on examination of ~180,000 specimens from 695 collections of 443 localities collected from the 1930s to 2015 we report 295 species of caddisflies from Michigan. Of these, 41 are reported from the state for the first time. Another 18 species previously reported from Michigan are listed as doubtful. The 11 most abundant species collectively represented over half of all specimens collected. Conversely, 80 species were known from <10 specimens, and 27 species from a single specimen. The Michigan fauna is similar to those of Minnesota and Ohio, adjacent states with comparable recent collecting effort. Regional and habitat affinities for each Michigan species are reported herein. Due to the high level of species discovery over the last few years, despite a >80-year collecting history, it is likely that additional species remain undiscovered in the state.
