Glad y'all worked this out, because you have new species for Quebec on BugGuide.

Brachycentridae
One of the Brachycentrus species, perhaps appalachia but I cannot be sure from this pic. Did you collect alot of this species? It is an interesting locality as it is within the area where Brachycentrus fuliginosus may be found. The larvae of B. fuliginosus is still undescribed.

Larvae
I have only two individuals of this Trichoptera (with their cases). The «Key» that I've used was to the gender level but I will borrow one that goes to the specie. Do you have a suggestion for me?

I suspect it will take you to B.appalachia but if your specimen does not readily meet all the characters in the B. appalachia description please let me know. You can pm at druiter(at)msn.com

Appalachia
Thanks for the reference! I looked for the specie, and the larvae respect the criterias of B. appalachia.
