Kluge Kluge, N.Ju. 1994. Habrophlebiinae subfam. n. with description of a new species of Habroleptoides from the Caucasus (Ephemeroptera: Leptophlebiidae). Zoosystematica Rossica 3 (1): 35-43. The phylogeny of the Leptophlebiidae is discussed. The paraphyletic subfamily Leptophlebiinae is divided into Leptophlebiinae s. str. (which is also probably paraphyletic) and the holophyletic subfamily Habrophlebiinae subfam. n. Nymphs and imagos of the Caucasian species Habroleptoides pontica sp. n. and H. caucasica Tshernova are described. N.J u. Kluge, Department of Entomology, Biological Faculty, St. Petersburg State l!niw.frsity, lfniversitetskaya nab. 7, St.Petersburg 199034, Russia. Phylogeny of the Leptophlebiidae Peters (1980) has discussed the phylogeny of Leptophlebiidae, where two sister groups - subfamilies Leptophlebiinae and Atalophlebiinae have been established, both regarded as holophyletic taxa. The holophyly of Leptophlebiinae has been supported by only two apomorphies: "submedian, subapical patches of hair" on venter of lingua of hypopharynx and "heavy, thickened, pointed to blade-like setae or spines" on anterolateral margin of labrum. As for the first character, it is noted as present in Leptophlebiinae except for Paraleptophlebia, while in Atalophlebiinae hairs may be present on the apical margin or dorsum of the lingua. So this character is not distinct and reliable. The second character (regular row of stout bristles on anterior margin of labium) is also present in the outgroup (Ephemeridae), and also in some other Ephemeroidea, so it may be not an apomorphy, but a plesiomorphy of Leptophlebiinae. It is most probable that Leptophlebiinae as treated by Peters are a paraphyletic group. At the same time the genera H abrophlebia and H abroleptoides (included by Peters in Leptophlebiinae) have synapomorphies with Atalophlebiinae and could be their sister group. So a new classification is suggested, whereby the former subfamily Leptophlebiinae s. I. is <livided into the subfamilies Leptophlebiinae s. str. and Habrophlebiinae; the relationships of the three subfamilies are shown in the schem~. Leptophlebiinae s. str. l1-6-,-7, 8-Habrophlebiinae subfam. n. L-9-l 4-Atalophlebiinae Peters, 1980 The subfamilies Habrophlebiinae and Atalophlebiinae have the following synapomorphies. (1) Maxillary canines missing (Figs 8, 9); in Leptophlebiinae s. str. slender rudiments of three maxillary canines are present (Fig. 7); presence of three maxillary canines is a primitive state for Ephemeroptera (Kluge, in press). (2) Proximal dentiseta of maxilla is comb-like (Figs 8, 9); its form in Habrophlebiinae (Fig. 8) is intermediate between that in Leptophlebiinae s. str. (Fig. 7) and A talophlebiinae (Fig. 9). (3) Dors:tl surface of labrum with distal row of bristles. In the examined species of Habroleptoides (see below) this row is regular over all its length (Fig. 23), but in the examined Habrophlebia (H. fusca and H. lauta) it is regular only in its median part, turning into fields of irregularly arranged bristles in its lateral parts. In Atalophlebiinae the distal row is usually regular, being secondarily irregular in some genera (for example in Hagenulus). ln contrast to Habrophlebiinae and Ataloµhlebiinae, in Leptophlebiinae all bristles on dorsal 'I r

36 N.Ju. Kluge: Habrophlebiinae sub/am. n. ZOOSYST. ROSSICA Vol. 3 surface of labrum are arranged irregularly, forming no rows. (4) Hypopharynx with lobes of superlingua curved and expanded laterally (Fig. 24). (5) Tibio-patellar suture of nymph reduced on middle legs (Fig. 28). As in the majority of Ephemeroptera, in Leptophlebiinae s. str. this suture is retained on middle and hind legs, being reduced on fore legs (among Ephemeroptera only in Baetidae and Rhithrogena the tibia-patellar suture is secondarily restored on fore legs). In Habrophlebiinae, tibia-patellar suture is developed only on hind legs (Fig. 29); in Atalophlebiinae, it can also be developed only on hind legs (in Zephlebia), or is reduced on all legs (in Choroterpes, Hagenulini). (6) Styliger of male imago with prominent dorsal plate (Figs JD,39). Besides, prominent ventral plate can be developed or not developed (large prominent ventral plate is especially prominent in H abrophlebia). In Leptophlebiinae, large prominent ventral plate is present but dorsal plate is absent. The subfamily Habrophlebiinae has the following autapomorphies: (7) Superlingua of nymphal hypopharynx with its lateral ends pointed (Fig. 24). (8) Structure of male imago genitalia similar in all representatives. The subfamily Atalophlebiinae has the following autapomorphies. (9) In males, upper portion of eyes with square facets. (10) In nymph, lingua of hypopharynx with lateral projections (except for Castanophlebia, Terpides, Fittkaulus). (11) Maxilla with single dentiseta (the proximal one) (Fig. 9). Initially, all Furcatergalia have two dentisetae (Kluge, in press); in Leptophlebiinae s. str. and Habrophlebiinae, both dentisetae are retained (Figs 7, 8), but in Atalophlebiinae, the distal one is reduced. (12) Anteromedian emargination of labrum with. flat denticles. In Leptophlebiinae and Habrophlebiinae, such denticles are absent (Fig. 23); in Atalophlebiinae, they are present or secondarily reduced. (13) Dorsal surface of labrum with the second transverse row of bristles proximad to the distal one. In some groups of Atalophlebiinae, this second row can be secondarily reduced. (14) Stout bristles on anterior margin of labrum reduced. Discussion. In the phylogenetic tree of Eastern Hemisphere Leptophlebiidae figured by Peters & Edmunds ( 1970), H abrophlebia and H abroleptoides together with some genera of Leptophlebiinae s. str. are included into the "daughter line la". This line is shown as holophyletic, but characterized only by plesiomorphic characters. Its sister group - "line lb" (which includes Habrophlebiodes, Dipterophlebiodes, and Gilliesia) - is characterized by reduction of cubital area of fore wing and by presence of distal row of bristles on dorsal surface of nymphal labrum. Actually the cubital area can be reduced independently also in some Habrophlebiinae (Figs 13, 42). The distal row of bristles on the labrum is regarded by me to be a synapomorphy of Habrophlebiinae and Atalophlebiinae (see above), but not a character of the "line lb": nymphs of Gilliesia are still unknown, and the nymph of Dipterophlebiodes has no such row present (Peters, 1972), in H abrophlebiodes such row is shown only for H. prominens Ulmer, 1939 (only by Peters & Edmunds, 1970: Fig. 244, but not by Ulmer, 1939: Fig. 282). The nymph of Habrophlebiodes americana Banks, 1903 examined by me has no regular distal row on labrum. Probably Habrophlebiodes is an artificial group including non-related Leptophlebiidae which have symplesiomorphies with Paraleptophlebia, but differ from it in the presence of costal process of hind wing. The following corrections should be made in the key to mature nymphs of the "daughter line 1" (= subfam. Leptophlebiinae sensu Peters, 1980) in the paper by Peters & Terra, 197 4. (1) Posterolateral spines on abdominal segment VIII are absent not only in Dipterophlebiodes, but also in Habroleptoides. (2) Superlingua of hypopharynx of Habroleptoides has lateral areas not rounded; Fig. 198 in Peters & Edmunds, 1970, and Fig. 9 in Peters, 1979, are wrong (see Fig. 24; Schoenemund, 1929: Abb. 1 d). (3) Dense long hairs on prothoracic legs are developed not only in Calliarcys, but also in some of H abroleptoides - specifically in H. sp. (? confusa). (4) Even row of hairs on anterior margin of labrum is present in Habroleptoides. (5) Habrophlebiodes has middorsal and inner rows of bristles ("spines") in labial segment 3 (Ulmer, 1939: Fig. 285), like other Leptophlebiinae and Habrophlebiinae. (6) Denticles on claws vary in different species of Habroleptoides and do not allow it to the distinguished it from Paraleptophlebia. Taking these corrections into account, this key may be used with the exception for Habrophlebiodes: nymphs of this genus may be distinguished from nymphs of the genus Paraleptophlebia only by the form of hind wing pads.

ZOOSYST. ROSSICA Vol. 3 N.Ju. Kluge: Habrophlebiinae sub/am. n. 37 Subfamily Habrophlebiinae subfam. n. Description. This subfamily is characterized by the synapomorphies with Atalophlebiinae, the symplesiomorphies with Leptophlebiinae, and the unique autapomorphies of its own listed above. Besides, all Habrophlebiinae have the following common characters: (1) claws of imago and subimago dissimilar, one apically hooked, the other obtuse, pad-like (only in some species fore legs of male with both claws obtuse); (2) hind wing with distinct costal projection, with a cross-vein running from the base of costal projection and crossing the subcostal vein (Figs 14, 16, 43, 46); (3) subimaginal mesonotal exuvia with dark macula at hind lateral part of posterior scutal protuberance,* but with light anterior and medial areas of this protuberance (Fig. 47); (4) subanal plate of female imago and subimago deeply cleft. Composition and distribution. The subfamily includes two genera - Habrophlebia Eaton, 1881 and Habroleptoides Schoenemund, 1929, both distributed mainly in the Western Palaearctic. The genus Habrophlebia includes two subgenera - H esperophlebia Peters, 1979 and H abrophlebia s. str. The first consists of a single species H. ( Hesperophlebia) vibrans Needham, 1908 (= H. jocosa Banks, 1914, = H. pusilla Traver, 1932) distributed in Eastern Nearctic. The subgenus Habrophlebia s. str. includes five West Palaearctic species. Two of them, H. ( H.) fusca (Curtis, 1834) (= H. konjarensis Ikonomov, 1963) and H. ( H.) lauta McLachlan, 1884, are widely distributed in Europe: besides Western Europe, both species are found in East European Plain and the Urals, H.( H.) lauta also in Western Caucasus; but they have not been found in Siberia or Middle Asia. Two species, H. ( H.) consiglion Biancheri, 1959 and H.(H.) eldae Jacob & Sartori, 1984 are known only from Italy (Belfiore & Gaino, 1985). One species, H. ( H.) vaillantorum Thomas, 1986 is known only as nymphs from Morocco (Thomas & Bouzidi, 1986). The second genus, Habroleptoides, is known only from mountain regions of Western Europe, the Moroccan Atlas, and the Caucasus; 15 species have so far been described and one more is described below. According to Peters ( 1979), the distribution of the phylogenetic branch Habroleptoides - Habrophlebia - Hesperophlebia is connected with the Eastern North American - European landmass in the Late Cretaceous. But according to my data, the presence of Leptophlebiidae in Cretaceous is not confirmed by fossils and is doubtful (Kluge, 1993). Genus Habroleptoides Schoenemund, 1929 Description. The genus can be distinguished from the genus H abrophlebia by presence of a projection on the inner margin of the first forceps segment of the male imago, and by the absence of a processes on the bifurcate tergaliae of the nymph; female imagos of Habroleptoides can be distinguished from those of the subgenus Habrophlebia s. str. by the absence of an ovipositor (in the subgenus Hesperophlebia the ovipositor is also absent). At least the examined species of Habroleptoides (H. confusa, H. caucasica, H. pontica sp. n.) have no longitudinal carina on the mesothoracic basisternum (in contrast to the examined Habrophlebia - H. fusca and H. lauta, which have such a carina, as well as Leptophlebiinae -Tsui & Peters, 1972: Figs 50, 51); instead of the carina, Habroleptoides has only a dark longitudinal median line in the same place. At least the examined species of Habroleptoides have colour patterns of the mesonotal cuticle contrasting and distinct (Fig. 47) (unlike the examined Habrophlebia, which have a diffuse pattern on the posterior scutal protuberance). Classification. Sartori (1986) classified all Habroleptoides in 7 groups which are characterized only by imaginal characters: structure of styliger and forceps of male and number of transverse and intercalary veins on wings. The new species H. pontica sp. n. has the structure of the genitalia strongly differing from that of H. caucasica. But the body proportions, form of fore and hind wings, and nymphal characters of both species are very similar, permitting me to suggest a close relationship of these species and to place them in the same species group. Thus the caucasica group is accepted here in different sense from the caucasica group of Sartori. * For explanation of this term see Kluge, 1994.

ZOOSYST. ROSSICA Vol. 3 N.Ju. Kluge: Habrophlebiinae sub/am. n. 43 female 5-6 mm. Comparison. The new species clearly differs from all others in its hypodermal brown patterns on the abdominal terga, which are well developed in all stages and both sexes. In form of hind wing with short subcostal vein the new species differs from all Habrophlebiinae except for Habroleptoides caucasica; it differs from H. caucasica in the form of styliger and first segment of forceps. In the absence of submedian processes on dorsal plate of styliger ("processus d'accrochage du penis" according to Sartori, 1986), the new species differs from all H abroleptoides except for H. assefae Sartori & Thomas, 1986 and H. malickyi Gaino & Sowa, 1983; it differs from these species in the presence of dorsal projection on first segment of forceps. Biology. In contrast to H. caucasica, whose imagos fly throughout the summer, H. pontica is probably a late summer species: all the material was collected in the end of summer, while in June 5-12 (1988), despite a careful search, neither imagos nor nymphs were found in the same locality.
