Plecoptera: Leuctridae of Gunnison County, Colorado
Paraleuctra sara (Claassen) 1937Appalachian Needlefly
Updated 30 July 2005
While mentioned as present in Colorado in some papers and on the Stoneflies of North America Webiste, Stark and Kyzar (2001) decided Paraleuctra sara only lives in the eastern US. Western stoneflies previously called P. sara are really Paraleuctra vershina.
