Stark BP. 1983. The Tallaperla maria Complex of Eastern North America (Plecoptera: Peltoperlidae). Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society. 56(3):398-410
The Tallaperla maria (Needham and Smith) complex is reviewed and six species are considered valid. Tallaperla elisa, n. sp., from Tennessee and North Carolina, and T. lobata, n. sp., from Virginia, are described from the male, female and egg. T Cornelia (Needham and Smith) is removed from synonymy of T maria and both species are redescribed. Redescriptions and new records are also provided for T. anna (Needham and Smith) and T. laurie (Ricker), and males and females for the six members of the genus are keyed.
