Abstract
Female Paragordius varius were collected in a slough of the Mississippi River in Grant County and a small trout stream in Kewaunee County. The Kewaunee County specimen was laying eggs on July 25, later than reported for the species elsewhere in its range. Paragordius varius is much less common than Gordius robustus in Wisconsin, at least in small cold springs or springfed streams.Keywords
