Parapsyche turbinata Schmid 1968, 69 figs. 103–105, 70–71, 73, 74 fig. 119 (male and female). Holotype male: Oregon, Jackson Co., Prospect, 06-vi-1965, deposited in the Canadian National Collection, (CNIC); Allotype female: Oregon, Hood River Co., Bennett Pass 24-vi-1965; CNC No 9383 (CNIC). Givens & Smith, 1980, 8, 9, 15 figs. 1a–c, 19 figs. 15a– c (male and female genitalia).
Male. Description. See Schmid (1968, 69 figs. 103–105, 70–71, 73); Givens & Smith (1980, 8, 15 figs. 1a–c).
Female. Diagnosis. As stated by Givens & Smith (1980, 8) in a discussion of the male, P. turbi nat a is most similar to P. extensa. This observation is supported by the similarity of the female genitalia (Figs. 8a–c, 5a–c). The internal chitinous sinuous structures (ist; best seen in cleared genitalia) within the fused sternites IX and X are similar to those of P. extensa; however, the sternites VIII of P. turbinata are ellipsoidal, not ovoid as in P. extensa. Tergite IX in P. turbinata is expanded ventrolaterally in lateral view (Fig. 8a) and in P. e xt e ns a tergite IX is tapered ventrolaterally to a rectangular stem in lateral view (Fig. 5a). Females of P. turbinata are separated from P. almota, P. e l s i s, and P. spinata by tergum IX (Fig. 8a), which is divided on each side by a vertical suture, lacking in these latter 3 species.
Description. See Schmid (1968, 70, 74 fig. 119); Givens (1976, 55, 95 figs. 7a–c); Givens & Smith (1980, 8, 19 figs. 13a–c).
Pupa. Diagnosis. The P. turbinata pupa can be distinguished from known pupae of other Parapsyche species by the shape of the apical processes (Figs. 9a, b). In caudal view, the lateral apices are rounded, the mesal apices acute, but not as acute as in P. al m o t a and P. elsi s. The apices of the apical processes of P. t u r bi n at a (Fig. 9b) and P.
almota are subequally long, distinguishing them from P. spinata and P. e l s i s, on which the apices are unequal, the lateral apices longer than the mesal apices (Figs. 4a, b, 7a, b). The presence of a pair of sclerotized plates on segment IV, position IVp may be diagnostic for P. t u r bi na t a. The form of the caudoventral and anal areas of the apical processes of the male pupa will also serve to separate P. turbinata from P. a l m o t a (Figs. 2b, 9b). Sternum VIII may have a pair of remnant submesal single gill filaments, that will separate P. turbinata from P. a l m o t a, which lacks gills on sternum VIII. Pupal mandibles (Fig. 13) are similar to those of P. almota (Fig. 10).
Description. Length 9.0 mm (N=2). Apical area of left pupal mandible with 4 subapical teeth, first 3 subequal, basal tooth larger; right mandible with 3 similar teeth subapically, with very small serrations basal to first basal tooth (Fig. 13). Hook plates (Fig. 28) present anteriorly on segments III–VII, posteriorly on segments III, IV and V. Hook plates IIIa each with 8–14 hooks, IIIp with 18–36, IVa with 3 or 4, IVp with 0, Va with 3–4, Vp with 14–18, VIa with 3–5, and VIIa with 4–7. Hook plates Vp oval with hooks very stout, pointing anterad; hook plates IIIp with hooks smaller, less stout (Fig. 26).
Abdominal apical processes yellowish brown, bifid, posterior lateral margins and concave caudal surfaces with numerous short spines, these spines on caudal surfaces increasing gradually in size apically (Fig. 9b). Patch of black ls setae laterally at bases of apical processes. Several hl setae present on the anterodorsal margin of apical processes (Fig. 9a). In caudal view apical margins of apical processes moderately concave (Fig. 9b). Apical processes recurved anterodorsad slightly less than 90° to axis of body (Fig. 9a). Apices of apical processes (Fig. 9b) subequally long; in caudal view, lateral apices rounded, mesal apices acute.
Pupal case. Case length 10–13 mm, width 4 or 5 mm (N=4). Case constructed entirely of small pebbles, gravel and sand, all tightly packed into an apparently continuous layer. The inner silk puparium enclosing pupa attached to smooth inner surface of stones. Case cylindrical with ends rounded (Fig. 33).
Larva. Diagnosis. The larva of P. t u r bi n at a can be distinguished from that of P. extensa by the absence of long, slender, tubular sh setae (ls-ts) (Figs. 36a, 38b) and the structure and arrangement of lateral line gills (Figs. 19 a, b, 21, 27). The presence of short, fluted, scale-hair setae (f-sh) (Figs. 38a–d) distinguish P. turbinata from all other western Parapsyche species. The longer scale hairs (sh) of P. turbinata are twisted (tw-sh) (Fig. 38b), unlike the long, cross-striated sh (ls-ts) of P. spinata (Figs. 37a, 37c). The broad and subrectangular ventral apotome of P. turbinata (Fig. 18) is similar to that of P. spinata (Fig. 17), and distinctly different from the narrower subrectangular to triangular ventral apotomes of P. extensa and P. e l s i s (Figs. 15, 16) and ventral apotome with the flared posterior margin of P. a l m o t a (fig. 14). Lateral line gills of P. turbinata are similar to those of P. al m o t a and P. spinata (Figs. 19 a, b), however the number of filaments per gill appears to be more variable in P. turbinata than in the other western North American Parapsyche species, most variable on abdominal segment VII (Fig. 27).

Distribution. Parapsyche turbinata has been collected in the Cascade Range in Oregon and California and in the Sierra Nevada of California, south to Yosemite National Park.
Bionomics. Parapsyche turbinata has been collected at 62– 2,135 m elevation. Emergence is from mid-March to late July. In general, emergence of adults of P. t u r bi n at a occurs at lower altitudes in March, April, and May, at higher altitudes in June and July. Water temperatures in June, July and early August of 2011, 2012, and 2013 ranged from 7.7o C–11.6o C at higher elevations. August temperatures at lower elevations (near sea level) averaged 12o C. Parapsyche turbinata generally occupies streams that are shallow (7.6–30.5 cm deep) and narrow (0.61–3.05 m wide), and slow moving (Givens & Smith 1980). The substratum is composed primarily of gravel, sand, and mud, with a matrix of mixed plant debris (leaves, twigs, bark, wood). Parapsyche turbinata is sympatric with P. elsis and P. spinata.
