Hi, This representative of Plecoptera I saw in an nature reserve east of Berlin in April. As this taxon is new to me I would like to ask if an expert could deliver a genus name. Many thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [146.94Kb] Edited by Sundew on 31-05-2009 19:47 |

The cross in the wings means Nemouridae. I can't go further than family. John Bratton |

We can exclude Protonemura (sic!). Likely Nemoura but this is a very difficult group. Nemouridae and other families are badly in need of revision. An expert started this revision in Hungary, mostly with nemouridae and mostly from species of Hungary and Balkan. He described several new species mostly by redescribing already known species and giving names to what were wrongly treated as others. Genitalia are always needed for ID, and most times the dorsal part of abdomen also. There is even more confusion with Perlidae: those can only be determined by the shape and sculpture of EGG!
