The caddisfly genus Atopsyche (Trichoptera: Hydrobiosidae) in Peru currently includes 12 species, three of which occur only in Peru. Herein, we describe and illustrate seven new species: A. cedroi sp. nov., A. chemillen sp. nov., A. corcuerai sp. nov., A. huascarani sp. nov., A. refulioae sp. nov., A. sofiae sp. nov., and A. yanachaga sp. nov. We also include illustrations for the species included in the subgenus Dolochorema as a comparison. Finally, one new country record is added, A. tincuracu, and expand the distributional range of five additional species, thus increasing the number of species of Atopsyche from Peru to 20.
