The only account of this species I've found in angling literature is in the Leonards' Mayflies of Michigan Trout Streams. They remark that it is the size of Ephemerella subvaria, much larger than any Eurylophella nymphs I've collected, and its color is a "rather bright yellowish-brown."

Jargon Defined:

Nymphs: The juvenile, underwater stages of mayflies, stoneflies, dragonflies, and damselflies and other aquatic insects whose juvenile stages are covered by hard exoskeletons. The word can also refer to the fishing flies which imitate these creatures, in which case it is used as a blanket term for flies imitating any underwater stage of an invertebrate (except for crayfish and leeches).
