Abstract:

Capnia zukeli is endemic to northern Idaho and known only from seven locations in Latah County, including Little Boulder Creek, Potlach River in the Moscow Mountains, Palouse River, Troy Creek, and Spring Valley Creek. This species’ limited habitat may be threatened with degradation from extensive recreational use in the region from which it is known. Research should focus on determining the true distribution of this species, the status and size of existing populations, and the potential presence of additional populations at suitable habitat in the region. Assessing and strengthening current management practices for known habitat would also be beneficial.
