We used scanning electron microscopy to show that (a) N. trispinosa Claassen, 1923 is a junior synonym of N. arctica Esben-Petersen, 1910, and (b) N. rickeri Jewett, 1971 is a junior synonym of N. sahlbergi Morton, 1896. Four species of Nemoura: N. arctica, N. normani Ricker, 1952, N. sahlbergi, and N. spiniloba Jewett, 1954, and are now recognized from the Nearctic realm.

Holarctic Nemoura Latreille, 1796 (Insecta, spiniloba Jewett, 1954, and N. trispinosa Claassen, Nemouridae) is among the speciose stonefly 1923. Nemoura spiniloba is a member of the N. genera, with ca. 190 species distributed mainly cercispinosa Kawai, 1960 group (sensu Baumann across Asia and Europe (DeWalt et al. 2018). In 1975) and distinct from the other four Nearctic contrast, only five species are recognized from species. North America: N. arctica Esben-Petersen, 1910, N.
