Working from animals he collected in the Utah's Green River, Edmunds describes the genus Traverella in this paper and designates Traverella albertana as the type species. T. albertana was previously named Thraulus albertanus by McDunnough in 1931. Edmunds created the genus name Traverella to honor the mayfly researcher Jay R. Traver.
