Comments.
Many species of the genus
Callibaetis
have a history of poor, inaccurate, or even absent, illustrations. In order to maximize the possibility of a reliable identification, here we present photographs of the complete dorsal and ventral habitus of the male and female imagoes (
Figs. 2
A–2D), a photograph of the ventral view of the male genitalia, mounted on a slide (
Fig. 2
F), photographs of the dorsal habitus of the nymphal exuviae (
Fig. 2
E) and a detailed illustration of the labrum (dorsal and ventral views) (
Fig. 2
G). For more, see morphological comments under
