Hydropsyche Pictet, 1834 is the largest genus of Hydropsychinae. In China, larval descriptions exist for only about 20 species. Although the number of Hydropsyche larvae described in China has increased rapidly in recent years, larvae of more than 75% of Chinese Hydropsyche species remain unknown.In this paper, we describe and illustrate the larvae of Hydropsyche briareus Malicky & Chantaramongkol, 2000 and Hydropsyche kozhantschikovi Martynov, 1924 for the first time. Neighbour-joining trees were reconstructed, based on known partial Hydropsyche species mtCOI barcodes.
