FARRODES (EPHEMEROPTERA, LEPTOPHLEBIIDAE) IN THE ANTILLES - NEW SPECIES FROM PUERTO-RICO AND REVIEW OF THE GENUS

Farrodes taino, n. sp. (Ephemeroptera: Leptophlebiidae) is described from larvae collected from the central mountainous region of Puerto Rico. The species is compared to F. grenadae and F. hyalinus, the other Antillean species known from larvae. Farrodes taino can be distinguished from these species by the presence of six oblong pale markings on the vertex, the crown-like pattern of the pronotum, the complex abdominal color pattern, and the presence of blackish apical markings on each femur. A key is provided to differentiate the three species.
