Eurylophella (Chocolate Duns) Mayfly Nymph

View 2 PicturesIt has the segment 4 gill and abdominal segment 9 is longer than segment 8. I couldn't see abdominal tubercles (

A few (not all) of the abdominal tubercles on this Ephemerella needhami nymph are circled. They are especially large in this species.

Tubercle: Various peculiar little bumps or projections on an insect. Their character is important for the identification of many kinds of insects, such as the nymphs of Ephemerellidae mayflies.), but they may not yet be developed in such an early instar (Instar: Many invertebrates molt through dozens of progressively larger and better-developed stages as they grow. Each of these stages is known as an instar. Hard-bodied nymphs typically molt through more instars than soft-bodied larvae.).
