This common name refers to only one family.

Mayfly Family Leptohyphidae

These are often called Tricos.
Read about the Tricorythodes genus for details. It is very important to trout anglers and it's the only significant trout stream genus in this family.

Most of the other genera are found only in warm waters in Mexico and the Southwest.
