Description

Allocapnia wrayi Ross

Allocapnia wrayi was deleted from the Pennsylvania stonefly species list because previous records had been misidentified (Earle 2004a). Examination of new material, however, revealed several authentic records. This species reaches its northern limit in 1 st to 3 rd order creeks in the Potomac and lower Susquehanna River basins of Pennsylvania.

New records: BEDFORD: (P) Blackberry Lick Run, PA Rte. 26, 20 January 2006, 10♂; Blues Gap Run, 0.8 km upstream of mouth, 20 January 2006, 2♂ 1♀; spring run to unnamed tributary to Blues Gap Run, 0.8 km north of Elbinsville, 20 January 2006, 1♂; Fifteenmile Creek, 1 st bridge upstream of the Maryland state line, 20 January 2006, 1m; CUMBERLAND: (S) Doubling Gap Creek, 10 m downstream of the lake at Colonel Denning State Park, 7 December 1997, 7♂; FRANKLIN: (P) Broad Run, 30 m downstream of water supply reservoir, 24 Mar. 2006, 4♀; FULTON: (P) Sideling Hill Creek, PA Rte. 484, 20 January 2006, 1♂.
