- Abstract
The recently described Oreoleptis torrenticola Zloty, Sinclair and Pritchard (Diptera: Tabanomorpha), belonging to the monotypic family Oreoleptidae, was previously described from the Northern Rocky Mountains of the USA and Canada. However, as part of a broad, multidisciplinary study by the Yakama Nation, 30 larvae of O. torrenticola were collected at multiple sites within the Twisp River of the Cascade Mountains in Okanogan County, Washington, 2008-2010. This finding represents a substantial range extension for the species.
