description: <i>Pteronarcys biloba</i> Newman, 1838 http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Plecoptera.speciesfile.org: TaxonName:470669 (Figs. 13–17) <b>Remarks and Distribution.</b> Previous descriptions of the larva of this species are adequate. The first description was provided by Smith (1917). Claassen (1931) later provided a more detailed description. This species can be reliably separated from other members of the genus based on the presence of the conspicuous abdominal projections on abdominal segments 1-8 (Figs. 13, 14), the lack of a prominent acute lateral projection on the mesothorax (Fig. 15), and the acute angle (APP&gt; 55) of the anterior pronotal projection (Figs. 15, 17). The distribution of this species extends from Canadian Maritime Provinces south to Alabama (Nelson 2000). <b>Material examined.</b> <b>Canada, New Brunswick: Gloucester Co.</b>, Tobusintac River, off Hwy 8, 17 June 1993, 4&amp;female;, 4 L, B.C.
