Isoperla myersi Szczytko & Kondratieff 2015
Isoperla myersi Szczytko & Kondratieff, 2015 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 However, collections from Pennsylvania and Rhode Island (unpublished data) suggest this species may be more widespread than presently understood.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). The elevation range for this species ranges from 189-609 m asl (Fig. 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). 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.
