Notes

Malirekus iroquois is commonly referred to as the Iroquois Springfly ( Stark et al. 2012). This species has been reported in Canada from Nova Scotia west to Canada and in the USA from New Hampshire and Vermont southwest to Maryland and Ohio ( Kondratieff 2004, DeWalt et al. 2024). No detailed ecological studies have been conducted on M. iroquois , although Huryn and Wallace (1987) reported a univoltine-slow life cycle for closely related M. hastatus (Banks, 1920) in North Carolina. Our collections from New York indicate a flight period extending from late April through mid-August (Fig. 38 View Figure 38 ). This species has been found in small rocky streams and rheocrenes at elevations ranging from 99-1620 m asl (Fig. 39 View Figure 39 ) and is widely distributed across upland areas of the state (Fig. 44 b View Figure 44 b ).
