General Description

provided by University of Alberta Museums
Males (length = 18 mm) have paraprocts that are flattened, triangular and sharply pointed at their anteriorly directed tips, and have spinules on Tergites 9 and 10. Females (length = 35 mm) have the subgenital plate produced and flattened or emarginate apically. Adults can be distinguished from Acroneuria abnormis by the presence of anal gill remnants and dark brown sclerotization on the head within the ocellar triangle. Nymphs have anal gills, and a banded pattern on abdominal terga with a light M-pattern in front of the anterior ocellus.

Acroneuria lycorias ( Catalan; Valencian )

provided by wikipedia CA

Acroneuria lycorias és una espècie d'insecte plecòpter pertanyent a la família dels pèrlids.[5]

Descripció

  • Els mascles fan 18 mm de llargària i les femelles 35.
  • Les femelles tenen la placa subgenital aplanada o emarginada apicalment.[6]

Reproducció

Té una longevitat de 3 anys a Saskatchewan. Les larves viuen a sota de les pedres en els trams dels rius on el corrent és més ràpid i els adults emergeixen a principis o mitjans de juliol segons la temperatura de l'aigua.[6]

Alimentació

Les nimfes més petites mengen fulles i matèria vegetal, tot i que les més grosses adopten una dieta carnívora i es nodreixen de larves i nimfes petites d'altres insectes aquàtics.[6][7]

Distribució geogràfica

Es troba a Nord-amèrica: el Canadà (Manitoba, Nova Brunsvic, Nova Escòcia, Ontàrio, el Quebec i Saskatchewan)[8] i els Estats Units (Connecticut, Massachusetts,[9] Kentucky, Iowa,[10] Maine,[11] Michigan,[12] Minnesota, Carolina del Nord, Dakota del Nord,[13] Florida,[14] Nova Jersey, Nova York, Ohio,[15] Pennsilvània,[16] Tennessee, Virgínia,[17] Wisconsin i Virgínia Occidental).[4][18][19][20][21][22][23]

Estat de conservació

No es troba en perill d'extinció, però és sensible a la contaminació.[6]

Acroneuria lycorias

provided by wikipedia EN

Acroneuria lycorias or the boreal stonefly is a species of stonefly native to North America. It was first described by Edward Newman in 1839. The species is named after the Nereid Lycorias of Greek mythology.

The species is found in North America. It ranges from northern Quebec southwards through New England to Florida and westwards to Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Tennessee. In Alberta, the species is known from boreal streams. The insect frequents large cold water bodies and has a life cycle of three years. The nymphs are aquatic and carnivorous. While large stoneflies are not endangered, like all stoneflies, they are very sensitive to pollution.[1]
