Agnetina capitata
(Pictet)
.
This
species is distributed from the
Ozarks
east to the
Appalachian Mountains
and north to eastern Canada (
Stark 2004
;
DeWalt et al. 2010
).
It
tends to inhabit cooler waters than its close relative
A. flavescens
(Walsh)
, with which it has often been confused, especially in the nymphal stage (
Frison 1935
).
It
appears that this species may still persist in
northern Illinois
only in the
Pecatonica River
.
Grubbs (2004)
tentatively listed this species from
Indiana
and suggested that it might be present in northern tier counties in the state.
We
present several unpublished records documenting the species in
northeastern Illinois
and in
Indiana
, two of which are relatively recent records.
