Abstract

SUMMARY. Altered tracheal gills were found on some specimens of Phasganophora capitata (Plecoptera: Perlidae) and net‐spinning caddisflies (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae) collected from streams in New York State. At one location only the basal portion remained of the normally highly‐branched structures. At another location the gills were impregnated with a tar‐like substance. Chlorine and crude oil are the suspected causal agents.
