Quote from page 396: "Isoperla longiseta is known from western and midwestern North America, and occurs further east than any other typically western Isoperla (Szczytko and Stewart 1979). It is often considered a typical praire stonefly of larger streams and rivers. In Colorado it is restricted to the large West Slope rivers, and is especially abundant in the lower Green and Yampa rivers."
