Abstract
Two new species are added to the eastern Nearctic genus Hansonoperla, which included only H. appalachia Nelson. Hansonoperla hokolesqua n. s p. is described from northeastern Kentucky and southwestern West Virgi nia, and H. cheaha n. sp. from northeastern Alabama. All 3 species are described from the adult male, adult female, and the egg. Diagnostic features and a key for separating the 3 species are presented, support ed by illustrations and scanning electron microscopy photomicrographs.
