Bolotoperla rossi (Frison)

, the rarest Pennsylvania species in the family, was previously known from only few adults collected from 3 medium sized creeks in the Susquehanna River basin ( Masteller 1996). This species has apparently not been documented in the nymph stage in Pennsylvania. Emergence begins in early April and continues through mid-May, later than most other members of the family. Bolotoperla rossi ranges from Maine south to North Carolina.
