Leucrocuta minerva
Leucrocuta minerva is a species of mayfly in the family Heptageniidae, described by McDunnough in 1924. It belongs to a genus of small to medium-sized flat-headed mayflies commonly known as "little yellow quills" or similar vernacular names. Species in this genus are typically associated with running water habitats. The specific epithet "minerva" refers to the Roman goddess of wisdom, though the etymological reasoning behind this choice is not documented in available sources.
