Abstract: Photographs and details of structures of two Potamanthus species, P. huoshanensis Wu, 1987 and P. luteus (Linnaeus, 1767), are presented for the first time. Here, based upon Chinese specimens of those species, all external structures are illustrated digitally and compared. The results and photos clearly show that the adults of the two species are different in wing color and genitalia shape, and that their nymphs have different mandibular tusks and forelegs. Specifically, P. luteus has a more colorful body and wings, longer penes and nymphal mandibular tusks but shorter foretarsi than those of P. huoshanensis. This comparison not only confirms the differences between these two similar species, but also supports the updated generic delineations of Potamanthus and Potamanthodes.

Behningiidae and Potamanthidae (Insecta, Ephemeroptera) in Thailand https://zookeys.pensoft.net/article/72779/ ZooKeys 1067: 57-82

DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1067.72779

Authors: Sedtawut Kwanboon, Michel Sartori, Boonsatien Boonsoong

Abstract: The aim of this study is to review the family Behningiidae and Potamanthidae in Thailand. Two genera and three species of Behningiidae are recognised: Protobehningia merga Peters & Gillies, 1991, Behningia baei McCafferty & Jacobus, 2006, and Behningia nujiangensis Zhou & Bisset, 2019, which is newly reported from Thailand. The egg structure of B. nujiangensis is described for the first time using scanning electron microscopy. The larva of P. merga is redescribed and its distribution is expended northward with a new record from Chiang Mai province. Two genera and five species of Potamanthidae are identified: Potamanthus formosus Eaton, 1892, Rhoenanthus magnificus Ulmer, 1920 (new record for Thailand), Rhoenanthus obscurus Navás, 1922, Rhoenanthus distafurcus Bae & McCafferty, 1991, and Rhoenanthus speciosus Eaton, 1881. Our morphological evidence is supported by COI data for the family Potamanthidae. Diagnostic characters, distributions, and keys are presented for the larvae of all known species of Thai behningiid and potamanthid mayflies.
