Family Odontoceridae Wallengren, 1891

This small family of caddisflies (14 genera and ~120 species) are found in all faunal regions, but the greatest diversity in the Neotropics is represented by the genus Marilia Mueller, 1880 ( Holzenthal and Calor 2017; Bueno-Soria and Rojas-Ascencio 2004). Panama currently has two species in its fauna ( M. flexuosa Mosely, 1939 and M. kingsolveri Bueno-Soria & Rojas-Ascencio, 2004). Herein we register one new country record.
