Abstract
The male and female, larva, and pupa of Anomalopsyche minuta (Schmid) are described and figured. The new family, Anomalopsychidae is proposed for this species and, tentatively, Contulma cranifer Flint. Additionally, undescribed and unassociated larvae and adults from Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador belong to this family. The family is the first undoubted member of the leptocerid branch of the Limnephiloidae foudn to possess ocelli. Although relationships are not absolutely certain, this neotropical taxon appears to be related to the Beraeidae and Helicophidae.
