Discussion.
This species was originally described by
Navás (1922)
from adults and was placed in the genus
Baetis
.
Alba-Tercedor and Peters (1985)
noted that the
type
was very damaged with only head and thorax remaining and thus did not indicate the sex of the specimen.
Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty (1999)
examined the description and based on the location of the costal process and venation of the hind wings they transferred this species to
Cloeodes
. However, the original description is incomplete. A hind wing with 2 longitudinal veins and a costal process located in the basal third of the anterior margin are characters that are not restricted to
Cloeodes
. Finally, the
holotype
is in bad condition, thus making it impossible to assign fresh material to this species. For these reasons,
Cloeodes nocturnus
is proposed here as a
nomen dubium
.
