Memoirs of the American Entomological Society 31, 1-208.Quote from page 126 "The large dark stoneflies of the genus Isogenoides are distinguished from all other perlodids by their mesosternal ridge pattern. Both adults and nymphs have a median ridge connecting the transverse ridge to the fork of the y-ridge (figs. 23, 29). The tenth tergum of the male is completely cleft and the epiproct is slender with a terminal or subterminal backwardly directed sclerotized or membranous hook or hooks (figs. 376, 377). Ventral lobes are well developed on the seventh segment. The epiproct and subgenital plate are used to differentiate the three Rocky Mountain species. Nymphs are similar but vary in the serration of the mandibles. This genus is usually found in large rivers but does occur in large creeks at the headwaters of rivers. Nymphs of Isogenoides seem to be well adapted to life in large silty rivers because they are the only large perlodids found in the lower reaches. " Also see (Sandberg, 2005).

Kreutzweiser DP, Holmes SB, Behmer DJ. 1992 Effects of the herbicides hexazinone and triclopyr ester on aquatic insects. Ecotoxicology Environmental Safety 23(3):364-74. Abstract They tested the effects of the herbicides (Velpar L) and triclopyr ester (Garlon 4) on a number of aquatic insects in indoor and outdoor artifical streams. As with all 13 species of aquatic insects tested, Isogenoides suffered no mortality at the maximum concentration of 80 mg/liter of hexazinone. Significant drift and mortality of Isogenoides sp. occurred at 32 mg/liter of Triclopyr ester. The LC50 of Triclopyr ester was 61.7 mg/liter for Isogenoides sp.
