Taeniopteryx parvula Banks, and Fullington & Stewart 1980

Description

Taeniopteryx parvula Banks

(Figs. 6, 19, 23)

Taeniopteryx parvula Banks, 1918:7.

Lectotype ♂ (Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard), Peach Grove Hill, Virginia (designated by Frison, 1942:249.) Taeniopteryx parvula: Ricker & Ross, 1968:1436.

Taeniopteryx pecos Baumann & Jacobi, 1984:147.

Holotype ♂ (United States National Museum of Natural History), Tecolotito, Pecos River, San Miguel Co., New Mexico. Synonymy by Kondratieff & Baumann, 1988

Taeniopteryx parvula: Stewart, 2000:66.

Material examined. Mississippi: Lauderdale Co., Chunky River, Dunn’s Falls, 7 January 1978, B. Stark, M. Stegall, 1 ♂. Newton Co., Chunky River, I-20, 7 January 1978, B. Stark, M. Stegall, 1 reared ♂, 1 ♀. Chunky River, Hwy 80, 15 January 1977, B. Stark, L. Temple, 1 ♂.

Remarks. This species is known from two counties in east central Mississippi (Fig. 6). Unfortunately, we were unable to recollect it from streams in the Chunky River drainage where it was collected in 1977 and 1978 samples. Perhaps it has been extirpated from the state, but we are hopeful it might still persist in the Dunn’s Falls area which has not been sampled recently. The species is more common in the central Atlantic and Northeastern states (Ricker & Ross 1968), but is reported from Alberta to Nova Scotia southward to New Mexico and South Carolina (Stewart 2000). Fig. 19 shows the ventral aspect of the male paraproct and Fig. 23 shows the female sternum 8.
