Quote from page 185: "The nymphs were found clinging to the surface of rubble stones in riffle areas. They are generally distributed at lower elevations in the Colorado River system. These collections probably represent the upper limits of their altitudinal distribution in this particular part of the upper Colorado River basin."

Discussed as Iron albertae. Quote from page 260: "Edmunds and Musser (1960) and Ward and Berner (1980) indicated that this intermountain West species tends to replace other Iron species as waters become somewhat warmer at lower elevations."
