Notes

This species is commonly known as the Carolina Stone ( Stark et al. 2012). The distribution of A. carolinensis extends from Quebec west to Manitoba and south to Alabama and South Carolina ( Stark 2004, DeWalt et al. 2024). Sheldon (1985) reported this species from low elevations (500-700 m) in the Little River drainage in east Tennessee. Schmidt and Tarter (1985) reported a two-year life cycle, for A. carolinensis from a stream in West Virginia. In New York, adults of this species have been collected from early June through mid-July (Fig. 33 View Figure 33 ), with a presence mainly in smaller streams and rivers at elevations ranging from 59-647 m asl (Fig. 34 View Figure 34 ). This species is likely more common than current collections indicate, with most records from elevated regions of the state (Fig. 35 b View Figure 35 b ).
