Alloperla prognoides Surdick & Stark

Material Examined. FLORIDA: Escambia Co., Boggy Creek upper wood bridge, N 30°44’59.3”, W 87°30’45.9”, 5 April 2011, D. Ray, R. Abad, J. Daigle, 16 larvae. Perdido River above Boggy Creek confluence, N 30°43’23.2”, W 87°30’10.0”, 14 April 2011, D. Ray, R. Abad. 6 larvae.

Remarks. New collections from these sites ( Fig. 3 ), in addition to those reported by Ray et al. (2010), were made for A. prognoides from gravel reaches on Boggy Creek and the Perdido River above the Boggy Creek confluence. Last instar A. prognoides were found near the surface in gravel riffles using a dip net while collecting for the dragonfly Ophiogomphus australis Carle during 2011 ( Daigle 2011). Previous collections of immature A. prognoides larvae were found much deeper in the hyporheic zone ( Ray et al. 2010).
