PDFThe authors split Alloperla severa into three species A. severa, A. elevata and A. thalia. Alloperla thalia is present in Colorado so may be found in Gunnison County. Alloperla severa may not be present in Colorado so I have some revising to do on this website! Lyon,ML and Stark,BP 1997 Alloperla (Plecoptera: Chloroperlidae) of western North America.
