Perlinella ephyre

Perlinella ephyre (Newman, 1839) Notes Perlinella ephyre is commonly known as the Vernal Stone (Stark et al. 2012). This widespread species is known from all states east of the Mississippi River, plus from Minnesota south to Louisiana and west into Kansas and Oklahoma (Stark 2004, DeWalt et al. 2024). In New York, adults emerge later than P. drymo, between mid-June and late July (Fig. 33) from low elevations ranging from 36-246 m asl (Fig. 34). Records are available from Level IV Ecoregions Finger Lakes Uplands and Gorges (60 d) and Champlain Lowlands (83 b) (Fig. 37 f). This species was encountered in similar habitats to those noted above for P. drymo.
