Description

Pteronarcys dorsata (Say, 1823)

http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Plecoptera.speciesfile.org: TaxonName:470662

(Figs. 28–36)

Remarks and Distribution. The geographical range of this widespread species extends from eastern North America south to Florida and Louisiana and across Canada to Alaska (Earle 2009, Nelson 2000, Stewart & Oswood 2006). Mature larvae of this species can be separated from others based on the lack of abdominal projections (Figs. 28, 36), supraantennal plate developed into a semi-circular ridge (Fig. 30), the presence of a convex lateral bulge on the pronotum that often exceeds the level of pronotal projections (Figs. 32, 36), and a broadly rectangular process on sternum 9 of male larvae, the resulting angle=33.11 ± 5.16 (Figs. 29, 35).
