Nemouridae Billberg, 1820 View in CoL

Notes

Nemouridae are commonly referred to as Forestflies ( Stark et al. 1998, Stark et al. 2012). Eight genera and 15 species of Nemouridae occur in New York. Although there is a recent review of the Nemourinae of eastern North America ( Grubbs and Baumann 2023), identification of the subfamily Amphinemurinae must rely on older literature, namely Ricker (1952), Hitchcock (1974), and Baumann (1996 b) to correctly identify Amphinemura Ris, 1902 adults to species. Baumann (1975) conducted a global revision of the genera of this family. Adults of this family have been reported from early May to late September (Fig. 18 View Figure 18 ). Nemouridae in New York occupy a wide range of elevations from 2-866 m asl (Fig. 8 View Figure 8 , Fig. 19 View Figure 19 ). Amphinemura wui and A. nigritta exhibit the widest range of reported elevations in the state (Fig. 19 View Figure 19 ). In contrast, the species with the narrowest reported elevation ranges are Amphinemura appalachia and Podmosta macdunnoughi , presumably due to low limited records of these two species (Fig. 19 View Figure 19 ).
