usually occurs in shallow streams where the substrate is mainly composed of gravel and/or sand and specimens are frequently associated with leaf packs or roots of riparian vegetation. It is common to collect more than one species of the genus in the same locality; in these cases, it is easy to determine how the species partition the habitat after a modicum of sampling. They rarely fly and are not attracted to lights; thus, collection at a light trap or flight interception trap is ineffective for the collection of these insects. The most effective method to collect

Except for those of the 6th and 7th abdominal terga, and terminalia, all the characters have the same state in males and females. Usually, these characters also have the same state in morphologically similar species, which suggests they can be informative at a more comprehensive level (i.e., species groups or complexes). In the head, the anterior region of the maxillary plate can be tumescent or flat. In all species from North America, the maxillary plate is tumescent.
