Teloganopsis hispanica (Eaton, 1888)

Ephemerella hispanica Eaton, 1888: 306 .

Serratella hispanica . – Gonzalez del Tanago & Garcia de Jalon, 1983: 149 (transfer).

Teloganopsis hispanica . – Jacobus & McCafferty, 2008: 241 (transfer).

Locus typicus: “ Spain, San Ildefonso, Segovia”.

Type material: MHNG; syntype, ♂ imago; 620 48 Espagne coll. Pictet / n°5 Potam. / 22 / Potam. n.sp./ Ephemerella hispanica Eaton MS sp. nov. Eaton type [abdomen missing] ( Fig. 8 ). – Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden ; syntype, female subimago .

Remarks: The MHNG specimen is damaged and was already broken when Eaton (1888) described it, since he gave no information about abdominal colouration, forceps and cerci. Nevertheless, the specimen fits well the concept that following taxonomists have applied ( Studemann & Tomka, 1987), especially regarding the shape of fore and hind wings.

The second syntype (a female subimago, “female allotype ” sensu Kimmins, 1960: 304) should be in Herman Albarda’s collection at the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie in Leiden, The Netherlands .
