Where & When
Cinygmula subaequalis is widespread but only locally abundant. Caucci and Nastasi in their collections for Hatches II were unable to find any specimens, but Fred Arbona in Mayflies, the Angler, and the Trout mentions consistent subaequalis hatches in the mountains of Pennsylvania, New York, and Vermont.1 Mayfly Specimen in the Species Cinygmula subaequalis:
