Taeniopteryx burksi Ricker & Ross 1968

Taeniopteryx burksi Ricker & Ross, 1968 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) at elevations ranging from 25-548 m asl (Fig. 23) and from larger streams and rivers across the state (Fig. 24 e).
