Description

Amphinemura palmeni (Koponen, 1917) (Nemouridae).

Larvae of this species were originally identified as A. linda Ricker, 1952, now a junior synonym of A. palmeni (Boumans & Baumann 2012). It has been recorded from cold water streams in parts of central North America. The nearest records to Nova Scotia (as A. linda) were from central Quebec (Harper & Hynes 1971d). Nine larvae were collected from site 9. It is not clear why it was absent from the other streams, despite similarities in physical and chemical characteristics.
