Field Recognition of Adult \u3ci\u3eAcentrella\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eHeterocloeon\u3c/i\u3e (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae)
The highly developed anterior process of the mesothorax, is described as a useful field character for identifying adults of Acentrella and Heterocloeon in the Nearctic. This presumed adult synapomorphy suggests a sister relation- ship of the two genera
Barbaetis: A New Genus of Eastern Nearctic Mayflies (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae)
The new genus Barbaetis Waltz and McCafferty, and new species Barbaetis benfieldi Kennedy are described from larvae collected from the New River, Virginia. Barbaetis is easily told from Baetis by the presence of procoxal osmobranchia. Cladistics of B. benfieldi, related Pseudocloeon species, and the lutheri and pavidus complexes of Baetis are presented and indicate the need for further taxonomic revision. The habitat of B. benfieldi is described in terms of several ecological parameters. The new species demonstrates a univoltine life history with postembryonic development restricted to a short springtime period

Tachopteryx thoreyi (Hagen in Selys) is an uncommon or rare, fen and seep dwelling dragonfly noted for its large size, restricted habitat requirements, and characteristic habit of perching on tree trunks
