Espécies de Baetidae (Ephemeroptera) do Sul da Bahia, com descrição de uma nova espécie de Paracloeodes day

Abstract

Based on collections in five municipalities from southern Bahia; a new species; Paracloeodes quadridentatussp. n.; is described from Brazil. It can be distinguished; among other characteristics; by the presence of three; often four; well developed denticles on the tarsal claws; a characteristic that has never been found in other species of the genus. Besides the description of the new species; the following 14 taxa of Baetidae are recorded for the first time from the State of Bahia: Americabaetis alphus Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty; Americabaetis labiosusLugo-Ortiz & McCafferty; Aturbina georgei Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty; Baetodessp.; Callibaetis sp.; Camelobaetidius francischettiiSalles Andrade & Da-Silva; Camelobaetidius lassance Salles & Serrão; Camelobaetidius sp. 1; Camelobaetidius sp. 2; Cloeodes cf. opacus Nieto & Richard; Cryptonympha dasilvaiSalles & Francischetti; Spiritiops silvudusLugo-Ortiz & McCafferty; Waltzoyphius fasciatus McCafferty & Lugo-Ortiz e Zelusia principalis Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty. As this is the first survey of Baetidae from Bahia; and it was restricted to the southern part of the state; sampling efforts in other areas are extremely required and should increase considerably the number of species; or even genera; reported from the state.
