Stonefly - Eccoptura xanthenes

Stonefly - Eccoptura xanthenes
Moccasin Lake, Winston, Douglas County, Georgia, USA
May 31, 2009
Size: 17mm measured
Need help with ID. Attracted to UV light. We've had a large number of stonflies here lately, but this one by far is much larger. The 17mm measurement refers to body length. Overall length (including wings) measured 24.5mm.

Perlidae
I'm not surprised that Kerry was reminded of Acroneuria, and I think this is a member of the subfamily Acroneuriinae. I can only offer a best guess about the species, but this is a rather distinctive specimen. I believe it is Eccoptura xanthenes, the "Yellow Stone."

Reminds me
of Acroneuria. Might be a place to start.
