title: Baetis (Baetis) cypronyx sp. n., a new species of theBaetis alpinusspecies-group (Insecta, Ephemeroptera, Baetidae) from Cyprus, with annotated checklist of Baetidae in the Mediterranean islands.
abstract: A detailed description of the larvae of Baetis (Baetis) cypronyxsp. n., a representative of theBaetis alpinusspecies-group within the mayfly family Baetidae, is provided, including a differential diagnosis with regard to closely related species of the group, especiallyBaetis melanonyx(Pictet, 1843) andBaetis baroukianusThomas & Dia, 1984. The new species is mainly distinguished by mouthparts (i.e. the shape and setation of labrum, maxillary and labial palps, details of paraglossae and mandibular incisors), setation of legs and abdominal terga, and length of paracercus. All available data on the biology of this putative endemic species of Cyprus are summarized. Annotated distributional data of the 33 species of Baetidae so far recorded from the Mediterranean islands are given, including new records and also including first data from Malta.
