چکیده
During the Global Biodiversity Survey “Santo 2006” conducted in Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu, mayfl y larvae were collected in several streams of the island. This contribution deals with the larvae of Baetidae (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) that are represented by two species: Labiobaetis paradisus n. sp. and Cloeon sp. The presence of these two genera is not surprising as they both possess almost a worldwide distribution and constitute a great part of Australasian Baetidae diversity. Diagnoses of these two species are provided and their affi nities are discussed. K e y w o r d s : Australasia, Cloeon erromangense, Labiobaetis paradisus, mayfl ies, new species, Santo 2006, taxonomy. Z u s a m m e n f a s s u n g Im Rahmen der auf Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu, durchgeführten Biodiversitätserfassung “Santo 2006” wurden Eintagsfl iegenlarven in verschiedenen Fließgewässern der Insel gesammelt. Der vorliegende Beitrag behandelt die Larven der Baetidae (Insecta: Ephemeroptera), die mit zwei Arten vertreten sind: Labiobaetis paradisus n. sp. and Cloeon sp. Der Nachweis beider Gattungen ist nicht überraschend, da diese eine nahezu weltweite Verbreitung besitzen und einen großen Anteil der Diversität australasiatischer Baetidae ausmachen. Die beiden Arten werden beschrieben, beziehungsweise eine Diagnose gegeben, und Unterschiede zu anderen Formen werden diskutiert.
