Abstract

A new eastern Nearctic snowfly species of the genus Allocapnia Claassen (Plecoptera: Capniidae) is described from Alabama, U.S.A. The male of the new species, A. sano, is distinguished from closely-related A. loshada Ricker and A. sequatchie Kondratieff and Kirchner by terminalia characters. In addition, new Alabama state records are reported for Zealeuctra fraxina Ricker & Ross, Amphinemura appalachia Baumann, A. mockfordi (Ricker), A. wui (Claassen), Oemopteryx contorta (Needham & Claassen), and Alloperla chloris Frison.
