Comments.
The specimen studied at the Museu de Zoología de Barcelona (
Figs. 3
A and 3B) is not a male imago, as indicated by
Gillies (1990)
, but rather a male subimago in very poor condition. Other specimens are available in the Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut Müncheberg (
Figs. 3
C–3G), but they are also male subimagoes in poor condition. Even if additional specimens of this species could be obtained, the inadequate description, the very poor condition of the
type
and the vagueness of the
type
locality would probably minimize the possibility of a reliable identification. Based on our re-evaluation of the morphological and other evidence, we propose that
Callibaetis gregarius
be classified as a
nomen dubium
.
