Notes. The genus has been revised by Saether and Wang (1995) in which they list three subspecies under P. exagitans . The larva, collected in this study, probably belongs to the nominate species based on distribution that includes Ontario . Ecology and habitat. Larvae occur mainly in semi-aquatic habitats, mainly in moss or moist soils of the stream banks and may also occur in springs, ( Saether & Wang 1995 ). Sampling sites. Algonquin Provincial Park.
