Abdominal terga pale brown with 3 lateral, and 2 mesal longitudinal rows of small dark spots and faint median longitudinal band. Ninth and 10 th terga with mesal patch of short stout spinulae. Tenth tergum weakly sclerotized along midline; paraprocts sharply pointed, extending over ⅓ length of 10 th tergum (Fig. 3). Abdominal sterna pale brown with paired dark anteormedian spots on segments 1-10 and smaller paired posteromedian dark spots. Eight and 9 th sterna with mesal patch of long setae; 8th sternum with a well developed vesicle, 1.25 times as long as wide, evenly rounded and expanded slightly apically; posterior margin fringed with medium length setae (Fig. 2). Aedeagus mostly membranous with large paired anterodorsal (Fig. 5f) and small paired dorsal (Fig. 5e) lobes; small posterodorsal patch of dense medium stout spinulae (Fig. 5d); wide median band of dense medium stout spinulae (Fig. 5b); proximal area expanded and membranous (Fig. 5a), exposed posterodorsal sclerotized rod, expanded slightly apically, base embedded and bifurcated with wide slender incurving arms (Figs. 5c, 6).</p> <p>Female. Macropterous. Body length 11.0 mm; forewing length 12.0 mm. Body coloration and morphology similar to male. Eighth sternum with posteromedian dark brown patch and broad medium brown inverted triangular patch. Subgenital plate produced over ⅓ length of 9 th tergum, broadly rounded with slight posteromedial emargination (Fig. 4).</p> <p>Larva. Body length of mature larvae 11.0 – 14.0 mm. General body color medium brown. Dorsum of head covered with short, blunt, stout spinulae, spinulae absent in pale patches; mostly brown with various pale areas (Figs. 7-8); thin, pale “M” shaped pattern anterior to median ocellus; thin, pale, slanting bars near antennal bases; interocellar area medium brown; ecdysal stem and “Y” arms thin pale lines; posterolateral areas with large pale spots infused with thin dark lines; occiput with sinuous row of stout, medium length setae interrupted medially; labrum mostly medium brown, lighter medially; antennae medium brown (Figs. 7-8). Lacinia triangulate, bidentate; subapical tooth ca. ½ length of apical tooth; 1 axillary seta; 8-10 long, stout marginal setae below subapical tooth; sparse, irregularly spaced row of long, fine submarginal setae below row of stout setae proximal to ¾ length of lacinia (Fig. 9). Mandibles with 6 cusps; large median row of long medium stout setae below outer apical cusp to near mandibular base; inner marginal fringe of 25 - 30 long, stout setae; right mandible with row of short stout acanthae below inner 3rd apical cusp (Figs. 10- 15), right mandible with dense brush of medium length, stout setae below inner 3 rd apical cusp (Fig. 11). Pronotum mostly medium brown with pale, thin rugosities; discs with sparse short, black clothing hairs; margins fringed with dense, short stout setae (Figs. 7-8). Anterior and posterior intersegmental membrane of pronotum with dense band of medium length stout hairs and chloride cells. Meso- metanota with sparse median patches of short stout spinulae and black clothing hairs. Mesonotum with dark brown lateral bands and 2 median dark brown bands; metanotum with wide, dark brown lateral bands and 2 wide, median dark brown bands (Fig. 8). Legs medium brown, outer surface of femora with scattered medium length, stout setae and black clothing hairs; median pale, thin longitudinal band with no setae or clothing hairs; proximal ovoid, pale spot on dorsal surface void of setae or clothing hairs; outer tibia surface with sparse medium length stout setae and clothing hairs. Abdominal terga with wide median pale brown patches that decrease in size posteriorly, forming a broad median longitudinal band, bordered laterally on each side by a dark longitudinal band; posterior margins of terga fringed with very short stout setae and occasional longer setae, lateral margins with more longer setae; dorsal surface with scattered heavy setae and clothing hairs; intersegmental membranes with concentrated chloride epithelia (Fig. 8). Cerci medium brown with posterior whorl of short setae.</p> <p>Ovum. General shape oblong, cross section concave, collar absent (Figs. 12-13). Color pale brown. Length 280 - 295 m; width 210 - 220 m. Choronic surface covered with numerous shallow, round follicle cell impressions (FCI’s), FCI’s near posterior pole shallower; walls of hexagonal follicle cell impressions faintly visible (Figs. 12-13). Micropyle row subequatorial; orifices small and not elevated (Fig. 14).</p> <p>Distribution. Isoperla umpqua is known only from Muir Creek, Douglas County, Oregon. It is surprising that this species has not been collected from other streams in the Cascade Mountain Range since the color pattern of the larvae is distinctive from other western Nearctic Isoperla species.</p> <p>Etymology. We honor the people of the Umpqua Native American Tribe which is federally recognized as a Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua Tribe. These native Americans live in south-central Oregon near the type locality of this stonefly.</p> <p>Diagnosis. In the male, the clavate sclerotized posterior process of the aedeagus is most similar to I. adunca Jewett, however it is larger and the shape and spinule patterns of the aedeagus easily distinguishes I. umpqua. The female subgenital plate with a shallow emargination and rounded lateral margins is similar to I. pinta Frison, but lacks the pronotal checkerboard pattern of I. pinta. Sandberg (2011) provides a detailed description of the nymph and especially in mouthpart characters is also most similar to I. adunca, but can be separated by the characters of the maxilla. Additionally, I. umpqua appears to restricted to type locality in south-central Oregon.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/6C2B87F1FFEFFF9F44ACDE349067FEF4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
