Notes

Perlinella ephyre is commonly known as the Vernal Stone ( Stark et al. 2012). This widespread species is known from all states east of the Mississippi River, plus from Minnesota south to Louisiana and west into Kansas and Oklahoma ( Stark 2004, DeWalt et al. 2024). In New York, adults emerge later than P. drymo , between mid-June and late July (Fig. 33 View Figure 33 ) from low elevations ranging from 36-246 m asl (Fig. 34 View Figure 34 ). Records are available from Level IV Ecoregions Finger Lakes Uplands and Gorges (60 d) and Champlain Lowlands (83 b) (Fig. 37 f View Figure 37 f ). This species was encountered in similar habitats to those noted above for P. drymo .
