First records of the genera Macunahyphes and Microphlebia (insect: ephemeroptera) from Colombia.

Abstract

The knowledge gained about the distribution of Ephemeroptera in Colombia in recent years have contributed to bridge the information gaps in this regard. This work of research recorded the Macunahyphes and Microphlebia genera for the first time in Colombia. Additionally, the distribution of Macunahyphes australis in South America is extended, and there is a first record of this species for the Vaupés Department in the Colombian Amazon Region. These findings update the records of the Macunahyphes and Microphlebia genera in the neotropical zone.
