but I have no way to check the species ID. I do not have the revision.

ID looks good. Furthermore, t

Courtney (1990)
Courtney, G. W. 1990. Revision of Nearctic mountain midges (Diptera: Deuterophlebiidae). Journal of Natural History 24:81-118.
I just ran the pupa and larva through the keys in Courtney (1990). The pupa keys fairly readily. The larva seems to key okay, but there are characters that need to be seen under the scope.
Nice additions -- thanks Kyle.
