RESUMO:

Trichoptera Kirby, 1813 is an order of aquatic insects, currently constituted by 83 families, 765 genera and about 16,800 valid species, being the seventh largest in number of species among all insect orders and the largest among those originally aquatic. In the Neotropical Region 3,262 species of Trichoptera are described, 795 of which occur in Brazil. Among the species occurring in the national territory, there are 16 families, five from the suborder Annulipalpia and 11 from the suborder Integripalpia. Among the Integripalpia, Calamoceratidae Ulmer 1905 has approximately 200 described species, distributed in eight living genera, only two of which occur exclusively in the Neotropical Region: Banyallarga Navás 1916 and Phylloicus Müller 1880, the latter the only one that occurs in Brazil. Currently 25 species of Phylloicus are registered for Brazil, of these, only eight were registered in the Northeast Region of the country. Thus, the objective of the present work is to expand the taxonomic knowledge about the genus Phylloicus by updating the species occurring in Northeast Brazil, including the description of five new species. The identified specimens came from the collections of the Museum of Natural History of Bahia (UFBA) and the Zoological Collection of Maranhão (CZMA), as well as collections made. For specific identification, the males had their abdomens removed and cleared (potassium hydroxide 10% and lactic acid 85%). Five new species are described and seven species are registered, two of these (P. major and P. pirapo) represent new records for Bahia (first record of P. major for the Northeast Region), one for Ceará (P. fenestratus) and another (P. bidigitatus), for the states of Pernambuco and Sergipe, constituting the first records of its kind in these two states. With this work the number of species occurring in the Northeast Region of Brazil rises from eight to 13, with the addition of the record of five new species (four occurring in the Bahia and one in the Ceará), and addition and invalidation of occurrence for P. major ( Bahia) and P. abdominalis,  respectively.
