	<dc:description>Adults occur in the bottom of main channels and embayments of large turbid rivers; frequently in flowing water over sand and mixed with gravel and mud.  They feed primarily on larvae of aquatic insects (especially burrowing mayflies, caddis larvae and midge larvae (Ref. 10294)), worms, and crustaceans (Ref. 50937).  Spawning occurs from April to June in large rivers in areas of swift current and coarse substrates (Ref. 10294).</dc:description>
