Abstract

Diagnoses, descriptions, and illustrations of male and female genitalia are given for two new species of Leptoceridae: Setodes chipolanus n. sp. from limestone-bottom streams within the Chipola River Basin and Ceraclea limnetes n. sp. from small natural lakes lying within the Munson Sandhills of the Apalachicola National Forest.
