New records of mayflies of the Canary Islands (Insecta, Ephemeroptera)

Descrição
Resumo:[EN] Mayflies were collected on Tenerife, Gomera, La Palma and Fuerteventura. Of the six species recently found at more than 25 localities, Cloeon cognatum STEPHENS and Caenis luctuosa (BURMEISTER) (most probably cite earlier by MOLLER- LIEBENAU (1971 as C. macrura) are recorded from the Canary Islands for the firts time. Baetis nigrescens NAVAS and B. pseudorhodani MÜLLER-LIEBENAU represent new records for Tenerife and La Palma respectively. Morphological differences of Cloeon dipterum populations (mainly the arrangement of gills and wing venation of adults) are described and some aspect of the biology of the species collected are discussed.
