Unknown stonefly - Neoperla

Unknown stonefly - Neoperla
Bartlesville, Washington County, Oklahoma, USA
July 3, 2008
This came to my blacklight and the best I can come up with is unknown stonefly. If anyone can narrow it down I'd sure appreciate it.

Neoperla-- Lloyd Gonzales det.
his comment: "Enlargement of your photo shows two closely-spaced ocelli at the back of the head covered by a dark spot. Neoperla adults often look much like Perlesta but have two ocelli rather than three."

Moved from Common Stoneflies.

Perlid or perlodid?
Small adult perlids are very easy to confuse for perlodids. The collection date makes me lean toward the perlid ID (probably Perlesta).
