ORDER: Plecoptera
FAMILY: Chloroperlidae
Stoneflies from the family Chloroperlidae have a cylindrical banded abdomen. When observing their mouthparts, the glossae and paraglossae form a three-pronged (open) notch, and their hind
wing pads are parallel (not divergent). Cerci have a vertical fringe of
hairs pointing away from the abdomen. Setae on the pronotum are found
primarily at the corners.
