(Figs 126–136)

Cloeodes auwe Salles & Batista (in Salles et al.) 2004: 5 (larva); Falcao et al. 2011: 531 (larva); Massariol et al. 2013: 3 (larva, ♂ and ♀ imagoes).

Material examined. PERU, Region Loreto: Prov. Maynas, Quebrada El Sabalo (right tributary of Rio Itaya) between Puente Itaya (57 km from Iquitos) and San Joaquin (at Rio Amazon), 4°16'S, 73°27'W, 2.II.2006, coll. N. Kluge: 1 L-S ♀ ; Prov. Ucayali, Pampa Hermosa, 4°13'S, 75°22'W, 9–21.VIII.2013, coll. N. Kluge & L. Sheyko: 1 L/S ♂, 2 larvae .

Descriptions. Larva. Larva has unusual coloration (Falcao et al. 2011: Fig.83), which represents combination of composite cuticular brown makings (Fig. 133–134) and hypodermal reddish and black spots (Fig. 135). Abdominal tergum I without denticles on posterior margin; terga II–X with long spine-like denticles (Fig. 134). All tergalii I–VII sharply widened posteriad, tergalius I also sharply widened anteriad (Fig. 126–132). Other characters as described by Salles et al. 2004, Falcao et al. 2011, Massariol et al. 2013.

DEVELOPING MALE GENITALS: In last larval instar, developing subimaginal gonostyli folded under larval cuticle in « Nigrobaetis -type» pose, with 2nd segment bent by convexity medially, and 3rd segment directed caudally (Fig. 136).

Subimago. TEXTURE: On all legs of both sexes last tarsal segment entirely covered by pointed microlepides; other tarsal segments at most part covered by blunt microlepides, apically by pointed microlepides (Table 1).

Tarsal spines of winged stages. Tarsus of fore leg in male and female without apical spines. Tarsus of middle and hind leg of both sexes with 1 apical spine on initial 3rd tarsomere (next after 1st+2nd tarsomere) (Table 1). Other characters of imago are described by Massariol et al. 2013.

Dimension. Fore wing length of male 4 mm, of female 5 mm (Massariol et al. 2013).

Distribution. Amazonia (Brazil, Peru).

Discussion. Massariol et al. (2013) wrote in diagnosis of this species: “6) ... segment I with a circular clear mark at anteromedial region; 7) Spines on posterior margin of tergum I present”. Actually the circular clear mark is present not on the abdominal segment I, but on the segment II; judging by the photo in the same paper, this segment II bears a regular row of long spines on posterior margin, while segment I has no spines (Massariol et al. 2013: Fig. 2). Specimens examined by me also have spines beginning from tergum II, and no spines on tergum I.
