Description

Family ID: Based on long antenna, simple gills.
Genus ID: third caudal filament is reduced to a singular nub, long hairs coating femur, tibia and tarsus.

The only species of Acentrella within Colorado/within the South Platte drainage basin are A. insignificans, A. turbida, and A. parvula. I suspect this is A. insignificans based on the presence of hind wingpads (A. turbida does not have hind wingpads). A. parvula is critically imperiled within Colorado so this is likely not that species.

Family ID: "long" antenna (visible in Figure 2)

I suspect that this is Oecetis, as the maxillary palpi do look pretty long and the mandibles are pretty long and blade-like (Figure 4). The only other genera of Leptoceridae found in Colorado include Triaenodes/Ylodes and maybe Ceraclea.

Description

Family ID: Short cerci, glossae shorter than paraglossae.

I suspect this is Sweltsa due to the darking clothing hairs on the thoracic sterna, lack of vertical intrasegmental hairs on the cerci, and setae on the posterior + anterior margins of the pronotum
