Abstract
Apobaetis lakota, new species, is described from larvae collected in southe astern Nebraska and northeastern North Dakota. Apobaetis lakota appears mor e derived than the plesiotypic South American A. signifer, as evidenced by certain apomorphies shared with the North American A. indeprensus. The new species is somewhat larger than other known Apobaetis, and it is most easil y distinguished by its unique labial and maxillary palps.
