California Soliperla Ricker, 1952 (Plecoptera: Peltoperlidae), distribution and taxonomic characters.

摘要

New distribution records for the three California species of Soliperla Ricker, 1952, are presented and mapped. Male reproductive structures were examined with scanning electron microscopy to test their potential as taxonomic characters, and a preliminary taxonomic key to the larvae of California Soliperla species is presented. Male epiprocts appear to be less useful for distinguishing the species of California Soliperla males than has been shown for the species in Oregon and Washington.
