The major purpose of this guide is to assist the reader in the recognition and determination of commonly occurring freshwater inver�tebrates inhabiting streams within the Kansas City District, Office of Surface Mining. This area encompasses the states of Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri. In addition, the information will broaden the user`s understanding of the impacts of surface mining on aquatic life. The details of anatomy, physiology, and more specific taxonomic informa�tion have been minimized for ease of use.

This guide was prepared primarily by staff members of the State Biological Survey of Kansas for the Kansas City District Office of Sur�face Mining (OSM). The assistance and expertise of the various con�tributors added greatly to the completeness of this guide. Many of the author`s illustrated their chapters, in those instances where existing illustrations were taken or redrawn from other sources, proper credit is given following the figure legends. The guide was prepared in fulfill�ment of contract number 4127-X705 awarded-to the Office of Research, Graduate Studies, and Public Service of the University of Kansas by OSM.

Taxonomic sections of this guide have been simplified for use by non-taxonomists. However, the completeness and regional nature of these sections makes this guide of value to all people interested in aquatic macroinvertebrates. Because of this, a cooperative agreement has facilitated publication of this guide within the Technical Publications series of the State Biological Survey of Kansas. The Biological Su(vey gratefully acknowledges the cooperation and foresight of the Office of Surface Mining in making the guide available through the Survey`s publication program.
