Notes

This species is commonly known as the Paddle Stripetail ( Stark et al. 2012) and has only been reported in New York State ( Szczytko and Kondratieff 2015, DeWalt et al. 2024). However, collections from Pennsylvania and Rhode Island (unpublished data) suggest this species may be more widespread than presently understood. The adult flight period of I. myersi is from late May to mid-July (Fig. 38 View Figure 38 ). The elevation range for this species ranges from 189-609 m asl (Fig. 39 View Figure 39 ), with records available from Level IV Ecoregions Catskill High Peaks (58 y), Acid Sensitive Adirondacks (58 aa), Eastern Adirondack Foothills (58 ac), Central Adirondacks (58 ad), and Champlain Lowlands (83 b) (Fig. 42 f View Figure 42 f ). Although this species is currently listed as an SGCN in New York ( New York State Department of Environmental Conservation 2015), it may be more common in the eastern USA than presently understood. Adult females, mature eggs, and larvae are currently undescribed.
