The nymph of Stylurus plagiatus
is not shown correctly in
Needham and Westfall (1955).

The information was taken from Walker.
Walker was apparently not working with
valid material, or there is a large degree of
local variation. Adult Stylurus plagiatus differ
greatly in coloration in the western part of it's
range. I would be interested in hearing from
anyone whose has nymphs/exuviae matching
the key........BBarber@141.com....
