“…9). However, our study dealing with the molecular diversity of Caucasiron species in the Caucasus and adjacent regions (Hrivniak et al 2020) indicated that E. (C.) znojkoi might represent a complex of cryptic species (only a subset of sequences included in the present study). The lineage Caucasiron sp.…”

“…The systematic position of Caucasiron within Epeorus-related taxa was unclear for a long time (e.g., Braasch 2006, Kluge 2015. The recent study by Hrivniak et al (2020) confirmed its monophyly and subgeneric position within Epeorus s.l. Moreover, the study pointed out its close phylogenetic relationship with the subgenus Iron Eaton, 1883 distributed in Central Asia and Nearctic realm.…”

Combining morphological and molecular data in an integrative approach, three new mayfly species of Epeorus (Caucasiron) are described. These include Epeorus (Caucasiron) alborzicus Hrivniak & Sroka, sp. nov. and Epeorus (Caucasiron) shargi Hrivniak & Sroka, sp. nov. from northern Iran, and Epeorus (Caucasiron) zagrosicus Hrivniak & Sroka, sp. nov. from central Iran. They are unambiguously delimited using both distance-based and likelihood-based approaches in the analyses of barcode COI sequences. Each new species is compared with other species of the subgenus and morphological diagnostic characters are provided. Based on extensive sampling of streams throughout the country, the distribution and habitat preferences of all Caucasiron species in Iran are assessed. Altogether, there are now six species recorded, among them also E. (C.) nigripilosus Sinitshenkova, 1976 is reported for the first time in Iran. Five species are distributed in the Alborz Mts. in northern Iran, one species was found in the Zagros Mts. in central Iran.

“…Caucasiron ranks among the most diverse mayfly groups in the Caucasus region, together with the genera Rhithrogena, Electrogena Zurwerra &Tomka, 1985, andEcdyonurus Eaton, 1868. It is a monophyletic subgenus, sister to the subgenus Iron Eaton, 1885 distributed in North, Central and East Asia and the Nearctic Region (Hrivniak et al 2020b). Kluge (1997b) defined Caucasiron based on the unique apomorphy among Heptageniidae (and mayflies in general), a projection on the costal margin of the gill plates II-VII (see Fig.…”

The Caucasus and adjacent areas are inhabited by fifteen species of mayflies of the genus Epeorus, subgenus Caucasiron Kluge, 1997 (Heptageniidae). This identification guide aims to facilitate an accurate species identification of their larvae and sum up all available information on their taxonomy and distribution. An identification key is provided, and the important diagnostic characters of all species are described and illustrated. The larva of E. (C.) insularis (Braasch, 1983) is described for the first time. This study enables the routine identification of Caucasiron larvae necessary for biomonitoring and hydrobiological research in the Caucasus region.

Cryptic survival and an unexpected recovery of the long-tailed mayfly Palingenia longicauda (Olivier, 1791) (Ephemeroptera: Palingeniidae) in Southeastern Europe

doi: bioRxiv preprint 1. Once widespread in the large European rivers, Palingenia longicauda underwent a drastic range contraction as a result of the intense pollution and hydromorphological interventions of the 19 th and 20 th centuries. For the last decades it was considered to be restricted only to the Tisa River and its tributaries, and to the Rába River, but new reports indicated its presence in the Danube River in Hungary, in the Danube Delta in Romania and Ukraine, and in the Prut River in the Republic of Moldova. 2. The objective of this study is to analyze the phylogeographic pattern between the two main eco-regions (Pannon and Pontic) of the species distribution, based on the combined mitochondrial COI (472 bp) and 16S (464 bp) sequences generated for individuals collected in Romania and Ukraine, and from publicly available ones, representing the Tisa catchment populations. 3. The presence of viable populations in the Danube Delta and on the Prut River in Romania is confirmed, and additional presence on the Mure and Bega rivers from Romania, and on the Styr and Horyn' rivers in Northern Ukraine is shown. 4. The phylogeographic results indicate that the presence of the analyzed populations are not the result of recent founding events from the Pannon region, confirming the survival and expansion of cryptic local lineages. 5. The recent recovery of the species may be related to the improvement of water quality as a result of the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive and the EU Floods Directive after 2000.
