Adult descriptions and commentary for two species of southeastern nearctic Ephemerella (Ephemeroptera: Ephemerellidae)
Jacobus LM and McCafferty WP. 2001. Adult descriptions and commentary for two species of southeastern nearctic Ephemerella (Ephemeroptera: Ephemerellidae). Entomological News. 112(5):294-298
Reared and associated materials from Florida and the Great Smoky Mountains provide the bases for the first adult descriptions of Ephemerella choctawhatchee and E. rossi. Male adults of the two species are shown to be morphologically distinctive among congeners, based on characters associated with the male genitalia. The relatively similar larvae of E. choctawhatchee and E. invaria are possibly ecologically and geographically distinct. The first records of E. rossi from Georgia are provided.
