Notes

Allocapnia curiosa is commonly referred to as the Peculiar Snowfly ( Stark et al. 2012). This species has been reported from New York south to Kentucky and Virginia ( Ross and Ricker 1971, DeWalt et al. 2024). Ross and Ricker (1971) reported this species from high-gradient, cool semi-montane streams of moderate size, including seven New York localities (their fig. 98) with emergence dates ranging from late January to mid-April but with no detailed collection data. In New York, adults have been collected from mid-February through late March (Fig. 7 View Figure 7 ). This species has been reported in New York from streams at lower elevations (161-512 m asl; Fig. 9 View Figure 9 ) from Level IV Ecoregions Catskill High Peaks (58 y), Catskills Transition (60 c), and Unglaciated High Allegheny Plateau (62 d) (Fig. 10 a View Figure 10 a ).
