Notes

This species is commonly known as the Coosa Stone ( Stark et al. 2012). Although published accounts of N. coosa are patchily available from New York south to Alabama and Georgia ( Stark 2004, Verdone et al. 2017, DeWalt et al. 2024), the records presented here and an additional unreported specimen from Ontario at CSUIC suggests that this species range is likely further northward. In New York, adult specimens were collected from late June to late July (Fig. 33 View Figure 33 ) from low elevation rivers at 31-269 m asl (Fig. 34 View Figure 34 ) from Level IV Ecoregions of Glaciated Reading Prong / Hudson Highlands (58 i), Eastern Adirondack Foothills (58 ac), Catskills Transition (60 c), Finger Lakes Uplands and Gorges (60 d), Ontario Lowlands (83 c), and Cape Cod / Long Island (84 a) (Fig. 36 c View Figure 36 c ).
