The regional focus of this paper is the southern Appalachian Mountains. The aquatic insect fauna of the southern Appalachians is especially distinctive and generally appears to be most threatened among aquatic insects. The Piedmont, Sandhills, Coastal Plain, and Interior Highland regions of the Southeast also are interesting, with several endemic species of freshwater insects known in these other areas.The taxonomic focus of this paper is the four orders of aquatic insects containing the mayflies, dragonflies and damselflies, stoneflies, and caddisflies.
