Isoperla montana
(Banks)
.
This
species exhibits mainly a central and
northern Appalachian
distribution (
DeWalt et al. 2010
).
Males
have one spur at the base of the aedeagus, compared to two
on
I. namata
Frison. Nymphs
of the two species are currently indistinguishable.
We
present specimen data from an
Indiana
ravine stream.
The
senior author tentatively identified them as
I. namata
, but they were later identified as
I. montana
by
B.C. Kondratieff. This
constitutes a new state record for
Indiana
and large range extension into the Midwest. The presence of this species calls into question the identification of nymphs in the region as
I. namata
.
Further
investigations are ongoing.
