Distributional checklist of the beetles (Coleoptera) of Colorado, A
January 2, 2023.Includes bibliographical references.A checklist of the beetles (Coleoptera) of Colorado has been compiled mainly from published records, from specimens in the C. P. Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity at Colorado State University and from specimens in other major collections in the United States. The list contains the scientific name of beetle species and the counties in Colorado where the species has been recorded. Ninety-one families of beetles, including more than 1260 genera and over 3500 species are also included

Geographic range extension to Wyoming, USA, for Paraleptophlebia praepedita (Eaton, 1884) (Insecta: Ephemeroptera: Leptophlebiidae)
New distribution data from Carbon Co., Wyoming, extend the USA range of Paraleptophlebia praepedita (Eaton, 1884) westwards, with the nearest records being from eastern Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri. The new record is based on male adults collected from riparian vegetation. Paraleptophlebia praepedita is one of at least five predominantly eastern North American aquatic insect species with disjunct populations in the uranium mining areas of the western North Platte River drainage

A DNA Barcode Library for North American Ephemeroptera: Progress and Prospects
DNA barcoding of aquatic macroinvertebrates holds much promise as a tool for taxonomic research and for providing the reliable identifications needed for water quality assessment programs. A prerequisite for identification using barcodes is a reliable reference library. We gathered 4165 sequences from the barcode region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene representing 264 nominal and 90 provisional species of mayflies (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) from Canada, Mexico, and the United States. No species shared barcode sequences and all can be identified with barcodes with the possible exception of some Caenis. Minimum interspecific distances ranged from 0.3–24.7% (mean: 12.5%), while the average intraspecific divergence was 1.97%. The latter value was inflated by the presence of very high divergences in some taxa. In fact, nearly 20% of the species included two or three haplotype clusters showing greater than 5.0% sequence divergence and some values are as high as 26.7%. Many of the species with high divergences are polyphyletic and likely represent species complexes. Indeed, many of these polyphyletic species have numerous synonyms and individuals in some barcode clusters show morphological attributes characteristic of the synonymized species. In light of our findings, it is imperative that type or topotype specimens be sequenced to correctly associate barcode clusters with morphological species concepts and to determine the status of currently synonymized species
