Abstract
New caddisfly taxa, Anisocalamus mixtus gen. et sp. nov. (Calamoceratidae) and Palaeorheithrus sibiricus gen. et sp. nov. (Philorheithridae), from the Chernovskie Kopi locality are described based on adults. Possibly, the genus Anisocalamus should be placed between the families Calamoceratidae and Vitimotauliidae. The caddisfly fauna of Chernovskie Kopi strongly differs in taxonomic composition from other Mesozoic localities.
