1. This study examined genetic variation within and among populations of the caddis fly Tasiagma ciliata (Tasimiidae: Trichoptera) from rainforest streams in south-east Queensland, Australia.
2. Very low levels of genetic differentiation at large spatial scales, between subcatchments and between catchments, indicated that dispersal by the winged adults is widespread. However, significant genetic differentiation at the smallest spatial scale examined, within reaches in a single stream, suggested limited movement by larvae within streams.
3. A patchy distribution of deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium and differences in patterns among allozyme loci suggested that populations in particular reaches were the result of only a few matings.
4. These results are surprising, given the large numbers of larvae present within a single reach. We suggest that stochastic effects of recruitment may underlie much of the spatial and temporal variation in population numbers in these rainforest streams.
