“…They shared similar wings, abdominal coloration pattern, and similar shape of penes. In addition, the egg morphology of these species is very similar, characterized by fibrillose units uniformly distributed in the chorion surface (Marulanda-Lopez et al 2021). However, F. amazonicus differs from the male imago ascribed to F. cururuensis by upper eyes, which in lateral view have no any stalk at all (as in other Terpidinae and most Leptophlebiidae) and by penes, which medio-ventral lobe is apically longer and broader in F. cururuensis.…”

The Leptophlebiidae family of mayflies is diverse, with over 640 species and 140 genera worldwide. One of its subfamilies, Terpidinae, is restricted to the Neotropical region and consists of three genera, including Fittkaulus, which have four South American species. This paper describes the male imago of F. cururuensis, which was previously unknown, based on specimens collected in streams in the Caatinga and Amazon Forest regions of northern and northeastern Brazil. It can be differentiate by having the following combination of characteristics: upper portions of eyes on short stalk; forewing with reddish brown macula; abdominal terga I–VIII with posterior and lateral margins washed with black; penes with proximal half fused, distal half with a globose lateral lobe, and with a long, apically pointed and tubular medial lobe.
