“…E. antalyensis has been reported only from Turkey and Kos Island (Greece), which is very close to the shores of our country (Kazancı and Braasch, 1986;Belfiore et al, 2000;Bauernfeind and Soldán, 2012). It could means that this species originated from Anatolia and spread with tributaries of the Aegeopotamuos River, which was connected with an inland lake system in Anatolia in the past.…”

Introduction Species belonging to the Ephemeroptera order are known as the oldest and most primitive winged insects, having existed since the time of the Carboniferous and Permian. They show a hemimetabolous development and spend most of their life in fresh waters as nymphs (Brittain and Sartori, 2003). Ephemeroptera nymphs play a very important role in the aquatic food chain, especially in secondary production, since a large majority of them are herbivores, feeding on detritus or algae, and they are present in almost all kinds of fresh waters throughout the year (Zelinka, 1984; Brittain and Sartori, 2003). However, they are very sensitive to water pollution and therefore have been used as bioindicator organisms in several biotic indexes and methods (Elliott et al., 1988; Moog et al., 1997). Since Ephemeroptera is known as one of the oldest insect orders and the species have some limitations on their distribution such as having a short life span, weak flight ability in the adult stage, and a fully aquatic nymphal stage, they are one of the most important groups used in zoogeographical studies (Brittain, 1982; Kazancı, 2001a, 2001b). The Gediz River basin has an important location due to its very close geographical position to a migration route between Europe and Anatolia since the glacial age. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the Ephemeroptera fauna of the Gediz River basin and contribute to the knowledge of the Ephemeroptera fauna of Turkey. 2. Materials and methods A total of 3801 Ephemeroptera nymph specimens were collected from different parts and habitats of the Gediz River basin by sieves (pore size 1, 1.4, and 2 mm) and hand net between July 2011 and October 2012 (Figure 1). Specimens were preserved in 70% ethanol solution and examined with a Leica DM LS2 trinocular microscope and a Leica MZ 12.5 trinocular stereomicroscope. All of the specimens were preserved in the Zoological Museum of Anadolu University (AUZM), Eskişehir. The specimens were identified according to the keys and descriptions from the works of Bauernfeind (

“…The status of E.rivuscellana , described for the first time from Switzerland (Landolt et al 1991) can also be considered as problematic. The synonymy was stated by Belfiore and Desio (1995) by examination of only one larval skin, probably the paratype using Carlo Belfiores’ system of numerical characters. However, limited usability of this system for closely related species delimitation has been proven in Polášek et al (2018).…”

“…In addition to the synonymy of the two species discussed above, Belfiore and Desio (1995) proposed a synonymy between E.ujhelyii and E.rivuscellana Sartori & Landolt, 1991 based on a comparison of larval material from Austria, Italy ( E.ujhelyii ) and Switzerland (one paratype of E.rivuscellana ). After analysing the set of 16 numerical characters, the authors noticed a considerable overlap of the main diagnostic qualitative and quantitative characters in mouthparts, gills, legs and femoral setation, most of which were not considered in the original description of E.rivuscellana (Landolt et al, 1991).…”

The genusElectrogenaZurwerra & Tomka, 1985 is a diverse mayfly group in the Western Palaearctic with a partially unclear taxonomy, even in well-examined areas such as Central Europe. Recently, one of the species belonging to this genus,Electrogenaujhelyii(Sowa, 1981), was identified as a complex of genetically and geographically separated species. Two other species,Electrogenasamalorum(Landa, 1982) andElectrogenarivuscellanaSartori & Landolt, 1991 were formerly stated as junior synonyms of the earlier species. The fact that the synonymy ofE.samalorumandE.ujhelyiiwas stated without comparison of any larval or adult material and both species reportedly have different altitude preferences makes the taxonomical position ofE.samalorum(and possiblyE.rivuscellana) questionable. Among others, a comparison of type series is one of the first methods that should be used to clarify the taxonomical position of closely related taxa.The present study aims to comparatively examine the type material and topotypes ofE.ujhelyiiand its presumed junior synonymE.samalorumfor the first time in detail. Additionally, some notes on the status of the geographically extralimitalE.rivuscellanaare discussed briefly. We noted a significant similarity of all studied material from both the larval and imaginal stages, and suggest considering both junior synonyms (E.samalorumandE.rivuscellana) asspecies inquirendae.

The mayfly fauna of Turkey was reviewed including all hitherto known distribution records together with references and a few new records. Additionally, comments on taxonomy, identification and nomenclature are provided. Two species are new for the Turkish fauna: Ephemera romantzovi Kluge, 1988 and Thraulus thraker Jacob, 1988. A list of taxa including their recorded distribution in Turkey (according to provinces) is provided in the annotated catalogue. The type locality is also given for each species originally described from Turkey. According to the literature and the new records, 157 mayfly taxa representing 33 genera and 14 families were described from Turkey. Among them, 24 species are considered endemic to Anatolia.
