Description.
Nymph
Body length up to 7.0 and 6.0 mm, without cerci, in female and male nymphs respectively; cerci length slightly longer than body length.
General colouration uniformly light brown, without any pattern, probably due to inadequate preservative medium added to ethanol (after the collection was deposited in ZMH in 1963? formalin?) (
Fig. 138
). This is confirmed by the slide preparations made by Ulmer where the typical patterns of the femora are well visible and similar to those of
D. hutanis
(see also
Ulmer, 1939
, Figs. 296–298).
FIGURES 132–137.
Holotypes of
Dudgeodes
spp.
in dorsal view (132, 135), abdomen in ventral view (133, 136) and in lateral view (134, 137). Figs. 132–134:
D. hutanis
; Figs. 135–137:
D. pescadori
Antennae ca. 1.2 times head width, flagellum with 15–16 articles. Dorsal part of male eyes yellowish brown, according to
Ulmer (1939
, p. 627: “isabellfarben”). Labrum, mandibles and hypophayrynx similar to those of
D. hutanis
. Maxilla similar in shape, but inner margin at base of lacinia with one feathered and long seta dorsally, and 4 short and feathered setae ventrally (
Fig. 45
). Labium as in
D. hutanis
; labial palp threesegmented, articulation between segments 1 and 2 clearly visible, without constriction on inner margin, segment 3 less than 3 times as long as wide at base (
Fig. 56
).
Prothorax with 4 small and flattened tubercles on dorsal face; mesothorax with none. Forefemur (Fig. 69) moderately dilated, ca. 1.8 times longer than wide; outer margin covered by stout and long setae; transverse row across dorsal face short, not reaching both margins and constituted by relatively short and stout setae (Fig. 70); inner margin with a long row of long and thin setae; proximal area of outer margin with a bunch of thin setae. Middle and hind femora similar, more slender, ca. 2.2 times longer than wide; dorsal and inner margins with a row of long and stout setae. Tibiae and tarsi as those of
D. hutanis
.
Abdominal terga with a weakly developed median tubercle on segment I, moderately developed on segments II–VI (V), and well developed on segments VII (VI)–X (
Fig. 140
). No posterolateral projections on segments II–IV, moderately marked on segments V–IX (
Fig. 139
). Gills similar to those of
D. hutanis
. Cerci with stout setae every 2–3 segments; setae shorter than the length of corresponding segment.
Male subimago. A single specimen in poor condition, colourless, and with wings torn.
Wing venation, as far as it can be seen, similar to that of
D. hutanis
.
Diagnosis.
D. ulmeri
can be separated from
D. hutanis
and
D. stephani
by the ornamentation of the forefemora, especially the transverse row of setae, the length of the row of setae on the inner margin, the bunch of setae on the proximal part of the outer margin (reduced to a single seta in all other species of the genus). The setae on the inner margin of the lacinia are also unique among the genus (plesiomorphic condition).
Etymology.
This species is named in honour of Dr Georg Ulmer (1877–1963), who first described this species, and outstanding specialist of
Ephemeroptera
of Southeast Asia as well as worldwide.
