Genus Allocapnia Claassen, 1928 View in CoL

Type species. Allocapnia granulata (Claassen) View in CoL

Distribution. An eastern Nearctic endemic genus found from the southern Maritime Provinces of Canada to the Gulf Coastal States and westward to the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma and the eastern countiesof the Dakotas (Kirchner et al. unpublished). Diversity. Allocapnia currently includes 44 species ( Stark & Baumann 2006) with seven recognized for Mississippi. The following keys modified from Kirchner et al. (unpublished) will assist in the identification of adult specimens. Most Mississippi nymphal specimens can be identified using Stark & Lacey (2005).
