  • Mt Donna Buang Wingless Stonefly
    Action Statement FloraFlora and and Fauna Fauna Guarantee Guarantee Act Act 1988 1988 No. No. ### 125 Mount Donna Buang Wingless Stonefly Riekoperla darlingtoni Description and Distribution The Mount Donna Buang Wingless Stonefly, Riekoperla darlingtoni (Illies 1968) is a cryptic insect belonging to the Family Gripopterygidae in the Order Plecoptera (stoneflies). Members of this order are distinguished from other insects by their long cerci and the absence of a median tail filament. The adult Mount Donna Buang Wingless Stonefly is brown, with darker markings on the thorax (Illies 1968), and has a body length of about 12 mm, with antennae about 8 mm and cerci about 3 mm (slightly less in females) (Neumann & Morey 1984). The nymph (the sub-adult aquatic stage) resembles the adult in form, but is smaller (Neumann & Morey 1984) and has a terminal gill tuft. Aquatic immature stages and poor powers of dispersal mean that they are only found near Mount Donna Buang Wingless Stonefly freshwater. (Harvey & Yen 1989). Although adults Riekoperla darlingtoni (male) [illustration from of the majority of Australian stonefly taxa have Illies (1968)] two pairs of well-developed wings (CSIRO 1991), the ‘wings’ of this taxon are present only as tiny flaps (Illies 1968) which preclude flight and, no doubt, further limit dispersal. Despite searches of a number of mountain forest habitats in Victoria and New South Wales (Illies 1968, Hynes 1974a), the taxon is known only from the vicinity of Mount Donna Buang, near Warburton, in the Victorian Central Highlands. Since discovery of the stonefly at Mount Donna Buang in 1931, all specimens had apparently been collected within about 1km of the summit (Hynes 1974a, Neumann & Morey 1984).
