Abstract
The larval stages of Paraleptophlebia assimilis and P. jeanae are desc ribed for the first time from specimens associated by rearing male adu lts. Both species are distinctive as larvae, and mouthpart structure i s useful for differentiating them from similar species. Materials exam ined of P. assimilis in Maryland and P. jeanae in Indiana extend the k nown range of both species.
