  • Gymnoclasiopa matanuska Mathis & Zatwarnicki, 2012: figs 35–40
Holotype: USNM, ♂, labeled “USA. A[las]K[a]. Mat[anuska]-Su[sitna]: Palmer (Matanuska River; 61°36.5'N, 149°04.1'W), 5 Aug 2002, D. & W.N. Mathis / USNM ENT 00183434 [plastic bar code label] / HOLOTYPE ♂ Gymnoclasiopa matanuska Mathis & Zatwarnicki, USNM [red].”
Type locality: United States. Alaska. Matanuska-Susitna: Palmer (Matanuska River; 61°36.5'N, 149°04.1'W).
Etymology: The species epithet, matanuska, refers to the glacier, river, and valley in southcentral Alaska where many specimens of the type series were collected along lotic aquatic systems. The name is apparently of Athabaskan origin and means a strong, gusty, northeast wind, which occasionally occurs in this region during the winter. The name is a noun in apposition.
