AB  - The male and female of a new species of long-horned caddisfly, Nectopsyche 
      paramo, are described from the high Andes of Ecuador. The new species was found 
      above 4,000 m, representing the highest recorded elevation for a species in the 
      genus. The larval stage of the species is also described. Only a total of 13 
      larvae were collected during a 17-month sampling program and 11 adults, 
      suggesting that the species is rare. Larvae were found mainly in leaf packs. A 
      male and female were observed in a mating swarm ca. 3 m above a stream during 
      late afternoon. In addition, we redescribe the adult male of Nectopsyche 
      spiloma (Ross), previously known from Ecuador from unsubstantiated literature 
      records.
