Cloe rhodani F.-J. Pictet, 1843

Cloe rhodani Pictet, 1843 -1845: 248-251, pl. 36-39.

Baetis rhodani . – Eaton, 1871: 114 (transfer).

Accepted name: Baetis rhodani ( Pictet, 1843) .

Locus typicus: “… aux environs de Genève, dans le Rhône…”.

Type material: Syntypes (male and female imagines and subimagines, larvae), not traced and most probably lost.

Remarks: Most of the material still present in the MHNG came from Meyer-Dür and is labelled “Burgdorf”. Baetis rhodani is considered as one of the most abundant mayfly species in Europe. However, recent investigations indicate that it is a species complex ( Bisconti et al., 2016; Gattolliat et al., 2015; Lucentini et al., 2011; Rutschmann et al., 2014; Williams et al., 2006). Therefore Gattolliat & Sartori (2008) designated a neotype, which is deposited in the collection of the Museum of Zoology, Lausanne, with voucher specimens in the MHNG and the NMW.
