Notes

Taeniopteryx burksi is commonly known as the Eastern Willowfly ( Stark et al. 2012). This common species is distributed extensively across eastern North America, with records as far west as Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas ( Stewart 2000, DeWalt et al. 2024). Previous studies of this species indicate a univoltine life cycle with a long period of larval diapause ( Harper and Magnin 1969, Harper and Hynes 1972). In New York, adults of T. burksi have been collected from early March to late May (Fig. 22 View Figure 22 ) at elevations ranging from 25-548 m asl (Fig. 23 View Figure 23 ) and from larger streams and rivers across the state (Fig. 24 e View Figure 24 e ).
