description: <i>Pteronarcys proteus</i> Newman, 1838 http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Plecoptera.speciesfile.org: TaxonName:470671 (Figs. 50–57) <b>Remarks and Distribution.</b> This species ranges from Quebec south along the Appalachians to West Virginia and Kentucky (Nelson 2000). Larvae of this species are most similar to <i>P. scotti</i> but can be distinguished by the spines on the abdominal segments. In <i>P. proteus,</i> spines of AB 1-7 are well developed with the largest projections possessing a convex outer margin and appearing hook-shaped in dorsal view (Figs. 51, 54, 57). When viewed laterally, the spines of AB5-7 are well defined, rugose, triangular shaped projections, the dorsal edge projecting caudally, parallel to the lateral surface of the segment (Figs. 50, 53). Measured in dorsal view AB-4 POM/SW ≥ 0.15; AB-6 POM/SW&gt; 0.12 (Care should be used in the use of these ratios due to marginal overlap in observed measurements with <i>P. scotti</i>) (Figs. 10, 51, 54). Live and recently preserved specimens also possesses a distinctive median yellow antennal band that is absent in <i>P. scotti</i> (Figs. 56, 57). <b>Material Examined.</b> <b>USA, Massachusetts: Berkshire Co.</b>, Wright Brook, Falls Rd. nr.
