The First Described Nymphs and Detailed Imagoes of the Species <i>Thalerosphyrus cingulatus</i> Navás Revealing a New Mayfly Genus from Eastern China (Ephemeroptera: Heptageniidae, Ecdyonurinae)

The nymph and detailed imaginal morphology of the Chinese mayfly <i>Thalerosphyrus cingulatus</i> have not been reported since it was named by Navás in 1933. Here based on newly collected nymphal and associated imaginal materials of this species from eastern China, we find both nymphs an...
