ABSTRACT
Color photographs of one Clioperla and 58 eastern Nearctic Isoperla species (Plecoptera: Isoperlinae), are provided to enhance their diagnosis. Images detail the male dorsal head pattern, posterior sterna and terga, paraprocts, aedeagus, and the female subgenital plate. Photographs were not available for the poorly known I. citronella (Newport) and I. maxana Harden and Mickel. This publication is intended to serve as a companion guide to the taxonomic revision of the eastern North American Isoperlinae by Szczytko and Kondratieff (2015).

ABSTRACT
The Isoperlinae of eastern North America is represented by two genera, Clioperla Needham & Claassen and Isoperla Banks. Clioperla is monotypic, represented by C. clio (Newman), but Isoperla includes 53 eastern North American species assigned to twelve species groups and seven additional species which are not assigned. Twenty-two species are described as new and three species are synonymized, I. coushatta Szczytko & Stewart, n. syn. of I. davisi James; I. mohri Frison, n. syn. of I. irregularis (Klapálek); and I. extensa Claassen, n. syn. of I. quinquepunctata (Banks). A total of sixty-one species of Isoperlinae are now reported from eastern North America. Keys to the males, females, and eggs and supporting original illustrations and scanning electron micrographs are provided.
