Olinga fumosa is a species of caddisfly belonging to the family Conoesucidae.[2] The species was first described by Keith Arthur John Wise in 1958,[2] and is endemic to New Zealand.[3]
The species was identified by Wise in 1958, based on a specimen collected from Waitati in 1917 by C. E. Clarke.[3][4] No further specimens of the species were discovered until entomologist Brian H. Patrick discovered further specimens in 1992.[5][6] Patrick confirmed that the species was distinct from other members of Olinga, based on behavioural differences and the apparent inability to hybridise with O. feredayi.[5]
