Description

Paragnetina media (Walker).

With the exception of the southernmost U.S. states, this coolwater species is distributed throughout much of eastern North America (Stark & Szczytko 1981; Stark 2004). It is known historically from Illinois only as a single nymph collected from the Mississippi River in Carroll County in 1932 (Frison 1935). DeWalt et al. (2005) listed is it as extirpated from Illinois. Grubbs (2004) reported that no specimens or literature references were found for this species in Indiana, but stated that populations may be found in the northern tier counties of the state.

We present two records from northern Indiana. IN, Elkhart Co., Little Elkhart River, 4 mi E Bristol, Bonneyville Mill County Preserve, 41.7188, -85.7649, 6/27/2006, R.E. DeWalt, ♂, N, 7 exuviae (INHS); LaGrange Co., Pigeon River, below dam S. of Mongo [41.68445, -85.28057], 9/4/1976, N (PERC).
