Abstract
Eight species of stoneflies were recorded from South Australian streams. All species have been previously described, but the first descriptions of the nymphs of Dinotoperla evansi and Riekoperla naso are given. Keys for the identification of male, female and nymphs of all species are given and some ecological information is also included.
