Morphological redescription and DNA barcoding of Torleya padunica Kazlauskas, 1963 (Ephemeroptera, Ephemerellidae) from the East Palaearctic region
Number: 501, Pages: 1 - 16
The neotype of Torleya padunica is designated and description of all stages is given. The larvae T. padunica is most similar to T. cohery, T. dibruensis, T. elissa and T. major; the genitals of male imago – to T. naga and T. mikhaili; the eggs – to T. lutosa, T. major, T. mikhaili, T. naga and T. nepalica. Torleya padunica is genetically distant from other Torleya species showing uncorrected p-distances of >19 %, values well associated with interspecific variation. The well-supported monophyly as well as results of species delimitation analyses confirms the validity of T. padunica.
