Chloroperlidae Okamoto 1912

Chloroperlidae Okamoto, 1912 Notes Chloroperlidae are commonly referred to as Sallflies (Stark et al. 1998, Stark et al. 2012). Surdick (2004) provided the most recent review of the eastern North American species of this family. Adults are easily recognized in the field, with coloration ranging from a subtle, pale yellow to bright green. In New York, this family is comprised of 19 species and six genera, several of which are rare or infrequently collected. Adult collection dates range from early April through mid-September (Fig. 26) across a very broad elevation range (3-1623 m asl; Fig. 27). Species occupying lower elevations include Alloperla leonarda, A. idei, A. vostoki, and A. banksi. The widest range of reported elevations was recorded for common species, including Haploperla brevis, Sweltsa lateralis, S. onkos, S. naica, and A. concolor. Narrow ranges of elevation are reported for A. leonarda, H. orpha, S. hoffmani, and A. imbecilla.
