Amphinemura appalachia Baumann, 1996

Notes

Amphinemura appalachia is currently referred to as the Appalachian Forestfly ( Stark et al. 2012). The current known distribution of this species extends from Pennsylvania south to Georgia ( Baumann 1996 b, DeWalt et al. 2024). Baumann (1996 b) indicated that this species is less commonly collected than its closely related and later emerging sister species A. wui (Claassen, 1936) . This single record in New York from Level IV Ecoregion Adirondack High Peaks (58 z) (Fig. 17 a ) represents a northward range extension for this species and a new state record. The New York specimen was collected in mid-June (Fig. 18 ) from a small headwater stream at 466 m asl (Fig. 19 ).
