Discussion.
We recommend that
Hyrtanella
female alates should not be identified to species until adults are associated positively with both
H. christineae
and
H. pascalae
.
Allen and Edmunds (1976)
had described female adults for
H. christineae
, but the association was not based on rearing, and the size of those female adults is similar to what would be expected from
H. pascalae
, rather than the larger
H. christineae
. The adults described by
Allen and Edmunds (1976)
probably belong to the genus
Hyrtanella
, because they share with the larvae the shape and armature of the abdomen, which is unique among genera of the family
Ephemerellidae
(sensu
Wang & McCafferty 2000
).
