Abstract

Forty-three stonefly species including ten species from literature records are reported from Iowa. Stoneflies were present in all Iowa ecoregions. The Paleozoic Plateau/ Coulee Section contained the greatest number of species (30) along with the most unique species (8). Allocapnia pygmaea (Burmeister), Leuctra tenuis (Pictet), Amphinemura linda (Ricker), Nemoura trispinosa Claassen, and Soyedina vallicularia (Wu) were confined to the Paleozoic Plateau/Coulee Section and should be considered for state protection. Western and southern Iowa have been poorly surveyed. Few species have been produced in these areas, presumably due to poor habitat conditions.
