Contribution to the knowledge of Teloganodidae (Ephemeroptera, Ephemerelloidea) of India

Abstract

Two new species of Dudgeodes Sartori, 2008 and a new species of Teloganodes Eaton, 1882 are described from India; they are Dudgeodes selvakumari Martynov & Palatov, sp. nov. from Himalayan region (Uttarakhand), Dudgeodes molinerii Sivaruban, Martynov, Srinivasan, Barathy & Isack, sp. nov., and Teloganodes barathyae Sivaruban, Martynov, Srinivasan & Isack, sp. nov. from the Tamil Nadu part of the Western Ghats. Thus, for now, the Teloganodidae fauna of India includes 11 species. Dudgeodes selvakumarisp. nov. appears to be significantly extend northward the known distribution of Dudgeodes. Partial COI sequences were used as an initial clustering method to show the relationships of D. selvakumarisp. nov. with other sequenced operational taxonomic units (OTU) of the genus.

Ecdyonurus aurasius sp. nov. (Insecta, Ephemeroptera, Heptageniidae, Ecdyonurinae), a new micro-endemic mayfly species from Aurès Mountains (north-eastern Algeria)

“…Five specimens belonging to the new species as well as five specimens of Ecdyonurus rothschildi were used for DNA extraction to get a 658 bp fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene (COI) (see Table 1). DNA extraction, PCR amplification, sequencing and alignment construction were performed according to Benhadji et al (2020) or Martynov et al (2022). One sequence of E. rothschildi was retrieved from GenBank, as well as two sequences of E. aurantiacus and two of E. dispar.…”
