Comments. This record confirms the presence of this riverine species in Kentucky. Isoperla bilineata likely is commonly distributed along the Ohio River bordering Kentucky. We have recently obtained this species from two Ohio River localities from the Indiana side of the river. We also anticipate that I. bilineata will be obtained from other large rivers in the state.
