Perlodidae-Megarcys? - Megarcys

Perlodidae-Megarcys? - Megarcys
Bow River, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
May 5, 2008
Size: ~2.5 cm w/ cerci
A specimen from my collection from last spring, preserved in 70% isopropyl; this was captured while flipping and checking the undersides of submerged rocks along the river margin; definitely a perlodid stonefly naiad and keyed this out to Megarcys from here
Any confirmation on id would be appreciated.

Tim
I see a question mark after the genus. Are you sure enough that we should make a new genus page?

I guess you can go ahead
I was actually waiting for expert confirmation but I took a second look at the specimen after the pics were posted and confirmed the id myself.
Thanks.
