Diagnosis

Camelobaetidius rufiventris differs from the other described species of the genus with the terminal filament reduced based on the following combination of characteristics of nymphs: (1) segment II of labial palp with distomedial projection slightly produced ( Figure 17F View Figure 17 ); (2) small thoracic gill present at the base of forecoxa; (3) prosternum with a small, single, medial protuberance; (4) tarsal claws with 35–43 denticles; (5) paraprocts with nine marginal spines ( Figure 18D View Figure 18 ).

Comments

This species was described based on nymphs from Brazil, from the state of Espírito Santo ( Boldrini and Salles 2009). Later, Lima et al. (2010) recorded this species from the state of Bahia, as Camelobaetidius sp. 1 . The nymphs are found often in areas with moderate to strong currents. Camelobaetidius rufiventris is possibly closely related to C. billi and C. maranhensis , because they present the unique combination of characteristics: terminal filament reduced, and the absence of a projection on the inner margin of the forefemora. It is easily differentiated from those two species by the presence of a medial protuberance on prosternum, and the presence of small spines on the inner margin of paraproct. In C. billi and C. maranhensis the medial protuberance on prosternum is absent; and in C. billi the spines on paraproct are rounded or truncated, while in C. maranhensis spines are not present.
