SUMMARY Colonies of the alga Nostoc parmeloides Kützing 1843, containing midge larvae, were collected from Bellows Creek in the southwestern mountains of Colorado near Creede, Mineral County, on February 27, 1970. G. W. Prescott verified the algal identification and confirmed it as a new species record for Colorado. The Nostoc‐ midge combination has been definitely identified in 8 other Colorado mountain streams. The streams are located in various sections of Colorado above 2333 m; distribution may be statewide.
