Abstract:

Geographic distribution is given for all species of the family Capniidae (winter stoneflies) in western North America, with seasonal distribution presented for all Rocky Mountain species. A total of 81 species in 3 genera are recognized and discussed, with significant extensions for many species. The distribution patterns of the Capniidae are shown to fit a pattern of 6 different geographical zones; each zone with its complement of endemic species. Altitude and latitude are shown to have an influence on emergence patterns.
