A Mayfly - Callibaetis ferrugineus
General Description
We do not yet have descriptive information on this species. Please try the buttons above to search for information from other sources.
Diagnostic Characteristics
Larvae of C. ferrugineus can be distinguished from those of C. pallidus by the presence of a dark sub-apical band on the femora. (Check 1982) noted that the dark band is absent in some western populations of C. ferrugineus; the relatively short (5-7.5 x longer than wide) apical seta of the tarsi will differentiate these specimens from C. pallidus (Webb 2002).
