Notes

Neoperla stewarti is commonly known as the Multispine Stone ( Stark et al. 2012). This species is widely distributed in eastern North America, with records from Pennyslvania southwest to Mississippi and west across the Laurentian Great Lakes region to Illinois and Minnesota ( Stark 2004, DeWalt et al. 2024). Adults of this species have been collected in New York from late June through late July (Fig. 33 View Figure 33 ), representing a new state record but expected since there are additional records from Ohio, Massachusetts, and Maine ( DeWalt et al. 2024). Reported elevations for this species range from 125-427 m asl (Fig. 34 View Figure 34 ) from Level IV Ecoregions Northern and Western Adirondack Foothills (58 ab) and Finger Lakes Uplands and Gorges (60 d) (Fig. 36 f View Figure 36 f ).
