Isonychia rufa is a species of brushlegged mayfly in the family Isonychiidae and the bicolor group. [1] It was originally named by McDunnough in 1931. [1] It is found in central North America, from southern Manitoba to Oklahoma. [2] [3] [4] [5] [1] Isonychia rufa is commonly found in larger rivers and streams from the Mississippi drainage. [1] Isonychia rufa can be distinguished from other species in the bicolor group through certain characteristics present in male imago. These include: whiteish and light yellowish veins in the forewing hyaline, [1] dorsal penes with a relatively prominent basal swelling which forms lateral and apical ridges, [1] bright red to reddish orange brown abdomen, [1] and stigmatic cross veins (usually anastomosed).
