A female
Acroneuria perplexa
Frison
collected at a light in Philadelphia (year unknown) and first reported in
Frison (1937)
has been of questionable status in
Pennsylvania
since this is the only
Pennsylvania
record and
A. perplexa
is a largely Southern and Midwestern
U.S.
species. The specimen was examined by Stark during his review of
Acroneuria
and determined to be
A. arenosa
; however, the corrected identification was not included in
Stark and Gaufin (1976a)
and the record was carried forward in some later publications including
Stewart and Stark (2002)
and
Stark et al. (2009)
. This record should be changed to
A. arenosa
.
