New subgenus Monilistylus subgen. n. and a new species Procloeon (Monilistylus) ornatipennis sp. n. (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae: Procloeon) Author Kluge, Nikita J. text Zootaxa 2020 2020-02-21 4742 3 573 587 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4742.3.11 a1b47413-2f76-404c-86e4-571b06c6a1cd 1175-5326 3677917 B5B11009-059B-4DC1-85B6-831A67B72166 Procloeon /g1, or genus Procloeon Bengtsson 1915 s.l. Branch «11»: Kluge & Novikova 1992 : Fig. 11 ; Procloeon /g1: Kluge 2012: 362 ; genus Procloeon : Kluge 2016: 494 . Type species: Cloeon bifidum Bengtsson 1912 . Autapomorphy of Procloeon /g1. At distal part of larval cercus, each cercomere bears apically on its outer (lateral) side one large spine directed posteriorly; usually this spine is spindle-like thickened and its length exceeds length of cercomere ( Fig. 7 ). Composition. The taxon Procloeon /g1 includes the plesiomorphon Procloeon /g2 (or subgenus Procloeon ), holophyletic subgenera Oculogaster Kluge 2016 , Pseudocentroptiloides Jacob (in Jacob & Glazaczow) 1987 , Securiops Jacobus, McCafferty & Gattolliat 2006 and Monilistylus subgen. n. Characters of these taxa are briefly given in the Table 1 . TABLE. 1. Subordinated taxa of Procloeon /g1

Discussion. Among species of the taxon Procloeon s. l. and among its subordinated taxa Procloeon s. str , Pseudocentroptiloides and Securiops , some species have no hind wings, and some species have hind wings of the « Centroptilum - type », i.e. narrow, with two longitudinal veins and with hooked costal process. The same variability occurs within many baetid taxa, so recently presence/absence of hind wings is regarded to be purely a species-specific character. In the past, this character was used as a generic or subgeneric one. Particularly, some authors placed four-winged representatives of Procloeon s.str. in a separate genus or subgenus under the name « Cloeoptilum » (e.g., Kazlauskas 1972 ) or « Pseudocentroptilum » (e.g., Jacob 1991 ). The name « Cloeoptilum » remains to be unavailable, because type species have not been formally designated (Hubbard 1979). The name Pseudocentroptilum Bogoescu 1947 belongs to the monotypic taxon opposed to Procloeon s. l. as a whole, while Procloeon s. l. includes both twowinged and four-winged species ( Kluge & Novikova 1992 ; Kluge et al . 2014: 490). Both known species of the new subgenus Monilistylus have no hind wings.
