    One hundred and forty-three species of mayflies are reported from the state of Tennessee. Sixteen species (Ameletus cryptostimulus, Choroterpes basalis, Baetis virile, Ephemera blanda, E. simulans, Ephemerella berneri, Heterocloeon curiosum, H. petersi, Labiobaetis ephippiatus, Leptophlebia bradleyi, Macdunnoa brunnea, Paraleptophlebia assimilis, P. debilis, P. mollis, Rhithrogenia pellucida and Siphlonurus mirus) are reported for the first time. Rare and vulnerable species occurring in the state are also discussed. This represents the first comprehensive statewide list of mayflies for Tennessee

    January 2, 2023.Includes bibliographical references.A checklist of the beetles (Coleoptera) of Colorado has been compiled mainly from published records, from specimens in the C. P. Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity at Colorado State University and from specimens in other major collections in the United States. The list contains the scientific name of beetle species and the counties in Colorado where the species has been recorded. Ninety-one families of beetles, including more than 1260 genera and over 3500 species are also included

    Mayfly larvae and imagos were collected at approximately 50 localities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSU). Included in this material, three species of <i>Labiobaetis</i> Novikova & Kluge, 1987 are recorded, two of them being new to science. <i>Labiobaetis potamoticus</i> Gattolliat & Al Dhafer, <b>sp. n.</b> is described from both larvae and adults, whereas <i>Labiobaetis alahmadii</i> Gattolliat & Al Dhafer, <b>sp. n.</b> is only known from the larval stage. The two species are compared morphologically with Palearctic and Afrotropical species of <i>Labiobaetis</i> . A third species, <i>Labiobaetis glaucus</i> (Agnew, 1961) is reported for the first time from the Arabian Peninsula. The species was originally described from South Africa and subsequently reported from the east and northeast of Africa. A molecular reconstruction including 18 Afrotropical and Palearctic species of <i>Labiobaetis</i> was performed using 658 bp of the mitochondrial gene CO1. The reconstruction highly supported the validity of the two new species and confirmed the occurrence of <i>L. glaucus</i> in KSU

    Geographic range extension to Wyoming, USA, for Paraleptophlebia praepedita (Eaton, 1884) (Insecta: Ephemeroptera: Leptophlebiidae)

    Get PDF
    New distribution data from Carbon Co., Wyoming, extend the USA range of Paraleptophlebia praepedita (Eaton, 1884) westwards, with the nearest records being from eastern Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri. The new record is based on male adults collected from riparian vegetation. Paraleptophlebia praepedita is one of at least five predominantly eastern North American aquatic insect species with disjunct populations in the uranium mining areas of the western North Platte River drainage
