Isoperla carbonaria is a species of stonefly in the family Perlodidae.
Description[edit]
Isoperla carbonaria is a rheophilous species characterised by relatively small size, reaching a length of about 10–13 mm. The basis colour is yellowish. The larvae of this predaceous stonefly mainly feed on Chironomidae, actively hunted across the surface of the substratum.
Distribution[edit]
This species is present in France, Italy[3][4][5][6][7] and Switzerland.[8][9]
Habitat[edit]
In the immature stage Isoperla carbonaria is aquatic and lives in freshwater, while as an adult is terrestrial and flying.[9] It inhabits mountainous streams at an elevation of 0–350 metres (0–1,148 ft) above sea level.
