Bp. Stark et R. Baumann, Sasquaperla hoopa, a new stonefly genus and species from northern California (Plecoptera : Chloroperlidae), WEST N AM N, 61(4), 2001, pp. 473-479
Sasquaperla hoopa, a new genus and species of Chloroperlidae, is described
from adults and preemergent nymphs collected in the Coast Range of northern
California. Males are characterized by the epiproct reduced to a small, ta
blike structure bearing stiff hairs in a narrow band along the posterior ma
rgin. Females are similar to those of Sweltsa, but the nymphs bear several
erect bristles lateral to depressed hair patches on the mesosternum. Modifi
ed keys are presented for adults and nymphs.
