Diagnosis. Male imago:
1) dorsal portion of turbinate eyes oval (Fig.
173 in
Cruz
et al.
2014); 2) dorsal portion of turbinate eyes in lateral view without constriction; 3) dorsal portion of turbinate eyes stalk height 0.21 × height of dorsal portion; 4) turbinate portion of compound eyes (in lateral view) with anterior and posterior margins divergent; 5) forewing with two brown bands, apical band parallel to posterior margin (Fig.
176 in
Cruz
et al.
2014); 6) marginal intercalary veins paired (Fig.
176 in
Cruz
et al.
2014); 7) hind wing with small marks of pigmentation (Fig.
177 in
Cruz
et al.
2014); 8) costal process of hind wing pointed (Fig.
177 in
Cruz
et al.
2014); 9) marginal intercalary veins on hind wing present (Fig.
177 in
Cruz
et al.
2014); 10) abdominal sterna with pair of medioanterior and medioposterior sigilla strongly pigmented; 11) abdominal sterna washed with red spots and with one anterolateral mark; 12) forceps segment I wide at base (Fig.
175 in
Cruz
et al.
2014); 13) forceps segment III elongate (Fig.
175 in
Cruz
et al.
2014).
Female imago:
1) forewing with two bands, apical band parallel to posterior margin (Fig.
179 in
Cruz
et al.
2014); 2) marginal intercalary veins paired (Fig.
179 in
Cruz
et al.
2014); 3) hind wing with small marks of pigmentation (Fig.
180 in
Cruz
et al.
2014); 4) costal process of hind wing pointed (Fig.
180 in
Cruz
et al.
2014); 5) marginal intercalary veins on hind wing present (Fig.
180 in
Cruz
et al.
2014); 6) abdomen covered by red spots (Figs. 178 and
181 in
Cruz
et al.
2014); 7) abdominal sterna with pair of medioanterior and medioposterior sigilla strongly pigmented (Fig.
181 in
Cruz
et al.
2014).
Mature nymph:
1) distal margin of labrum medially with simple spine-setae (Fig. 61B in
Nieto 2008
); 2) maxillary palp 1.5 × the length of galea-lacinia (Fig.
65 in
Nieto 2008
); 3) crown of galea-lacinia with two rows of setae; 4) paraglossa with rounded apex (Fig. 66A in
Nieto 2008
); 5) paraglossa with one tuft of fine and simple setae on apex; 6) metanotum with spines; 7) foretarsus anterior surface with spine-like setae (Fig.
67 in
Nieto 2008
); 8) hind claw denticles smaller than foreclaw denticles (Fig.
69 in
Nieto 2008
).
Comments.
Until now,
C. gloriosus
is considered to be a junior synonym of
Callibaetis
(
A.
)
fasciatus
. After studying the
type
of
C. gloriosus
, we observed that the most conspicuous diagnostic character of
C.
(
A.
)
sellacki
is present in
C. gloriosus
: an apical band on the female forewing, parallel to the posterior margin. Thereby,
C. gloriosus
is proposed here as junior synonym of
C.
(
A.
)
sellacki
. The
type
specimens of
C. gloriosus
possess damaged forewings (
Fig. 16
B), but the apical band is visible and comparable with those presented by Cruz
et al.
(2014: Figs. 27D, 27G).
We present figures of the dorsal and ventral habitus of the nymphs of
C.
(
A.
)
sellacki
(
Figs. 15
A–15B) and the
type
of
C. gloriosus
(
Figs. 16
A–16B).
