Etymology : The name of the species is in honor of Dr. David E. Baumgardner, for his significant contributions to the knowledge of Ephemeroptera . Distribution . BRAZIL : Goiás. FIGURES 1–4.

FIGURES 5–8. 5, C. sallesi sp. nov. 6, C. tepequensis sp. nov. 7, C. mexicanus . Comments . The nymphs of Camelobaetidius baumgardneri sp. nov. are possibly closely related to C. sallesi sp. nov. Both species present the unique combination of characteristics such as the segment II of labial palp with distomedial projection triangular with apex pointed, thoracic gill absent at base of forecoxa, tarsal claws with similar number of denticles, and terminal filament as long as cerci. Camelobaetidius baumgardneri is easily distinguished from C. sallesi sp. nov. by the shape of labrum, subrectangular ( Fig. 8 ) in C. baumgardneri sp. nov. , and narrowly rounded anteriorly ( Fig. 38 ) in C. sallesi sp. nov. , and by the shape of the spines on posterior margin of terga IV, rounded in C . baumgardneri sp. nov. ( Fig. 15 ), and pointed ( Fig. 45 ) in C. sallesi sp. nov. . FIGURES 8–13.
