Notes

Leuctra maria is commonly known as the Northeastern Needlefly ( Stark et al. 2012). This is an uncommonly collected species from Ontario and Quebec south to West Virginia ( Grubbs and Wei 2017, DeWalt et al. 2024). This species inhabits small to medium-sized streams and lake outlets, many of which are dry during summer and early autumn (Peter Harper, personal communication, October 24, 2007). Adult collection dates ranged from early May to late June (Fig. 13 View Figure 13 ). In New York, this species was found infrequently from marshy habitats near streams at elevations of 356-621 m asl (Fig. 14 View Figure 14 ) in Level IV Ecoregions Acid Sensitive Adirondacks (58 aa), Northern and Western Adirondack Foothills (58 ab), Eastern Adirondack Foothills (58 ac), Central Adirondacks (58 ad), and Mohawk Valley (83 f) (Fig. 15 f View Figure 15 f ).
