Guides
Acentrella insignificans
Acentrella insignificans is a species of small minnow mayfly in the family Baetidae. It was originally described as Baetis insignificans by McDunnough in 1926. The species has a broad distribution across North America and Central America, with records extending from Alaska and northern Canada through the southwestern United States and into Mexico.
Acentrella turbida
Acentrella turbida is a small minnow mayfly in the family Baetidae, first described by McDunnough in 1924. It is one of the most widespread mayfly species in North America, occurring across the continent from Alaska and Canada through the continental United States to northern Mexico, with additional populations in Central America. The species was originally described under the genus Pseudocloeon before being transferred to Acentrella. It belongs to a diverse genus containing numerous small, delicate mayfly species often difficult to distinguish without close examination.
Ameletus ludens
Ameletus ludens is a species of combmouthed minnow mayfly in the family Ameletidae, described by Needham in 1905. It belongs to the order Ephemeroptera, a group of aquatic insects known for their brief adult lifespans. The species is found in North America, though specific details about its ecology and life history remain limited in available sources.
Baetis notos
Baetis notos is a species of small minnow mayfly in the family Baetidae. It is found in Central America and North America, with its North American range extending across southern Mexico, the southern United States, and the northwestern United States. The species was described by Allen and Murvosh in 1987.
Callibaetis
Speckled Duns
Callibaetis is a genus of small minnow mayflies in the family Baetidae, comprising at least 30 described species distributed across North and South America. The genus has been taxonomically problematic, with recent phylogenetic work confirming its monophyly and establishing four subgenera. Species occupy diverse lentic habitats including ponds, lakes, and wetlands, with some populations adapted to variable salinity conditions.
Callibaetis ferrugineus hageni
Callibaetis ferrugineus hageni is a subspecies of mayfly in the family Baetidae. The genus Callibaetis comprises small minnow mayflies found in aquatic habitats across North America. As with other mayflies in this genus, this subspecies has a multi-stage life cycle involving aquatic nymphs and short-lived winged adults. The subspecific epithet honors Hermann Hagen, a prominent 19th-century entomologist.
Fallceon quilleri
Fallceon quilleri is a small minnow mayfly in the family Baetidae, described by Dodds in 1923. It is known from a relatively small number of observations (15 records on iNaturalist). The species has a broad transcontinental distribution spanning temperate and tropical regions of the Americas.
