Abstract.4Based on the examination of additional collections and published records,
the revised checklist of the stoneflies of West Virginia includes 135 species in 42 genera.
Eight state records and 399 county records are added to the plecopteran fauna of the state.
We have noted range extensions for the following stoneflies: Allocapnia illinoensis Frison;
Perlesta cinctipes (Banks); P. frisoni Banks; and P. teaysia Kirchner and Kondratieff.
