The Specimen

Apatania (Early Smoky Wing Sedges) Caddisfly AdultApatania (Early Smoky Wing Sedges) Caddisfly Adult View 7 PicturesThis one actually had a medium tan body when it emerged. By the time I took the picture it was dark as night. I was actually looking through my box of specimens trying to figure out where that tan one I caught disappeared to. Then I realized this is it.
Collected May 15, 2007 from the West Branch of the Delaware River in New York

Posts: 125		Folks - This is another I would call Brachycentrus. You can definitely see the maxillary palps folded up in front of the face.

And a note on Apatania - the eastern species are down to two - incerta and nigra. A.blacki, praevolans and rossi were all recently sunk under A. incerta. (Flint 2007 Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash. 109(3):739-740)
