Leuctra variabilis View in CoL

is one of the few stoneflies reported from unusual habitats for stoneflies, bogs with imperceptible flow and pitcher plants ( Nelson et al. 2002). Leuctra variabilis emerges rather late compared to most other Leuctra species , from late September to early December. Only 2 previous Pennsylvania records exist, from Susquehanna and Wyoming Counties in northeastern Pennsylvania ( Masteller 1996). Leuctra variabilis has been reported from New England south to Maryland.

New record: CARBON: (D) unnamed tributary to Lizard Creek, 20 m upstream of T-334, 16 October 2003, 1♂ (TD).
