Differential diagnosis.
Larva. Following combination of characters distinguish B. joachimi sp. nov. from other species of Branchiobaetis gen. nov.: A) labial palp segment II with short, broad, rounded protuberance, with few small, stout, simple setae on protuberance; segment III apically rounded (Fig. 18k View Figure 18 ); B) dorsal margin of femur with row of medium, spine-like setae; many short, stout, apically rounded setae along dorsal margin; same type of setae scattered on surface and along ventral margin (Fig. 19a, c View Figure 19 ); C) posterior margin of tergites: I with triangular, pointed spines or short, triangular, blunt spines; II-IX with triangular, pointed spines, longer than wide (Fig. 19f View Figure 19 ); posterior margin of sternites: I-IV smooth, without spines; V with small, spaced, triangular spines; VI-IX with triangular spines; D) paraproct with short, stout, apically rounded setae along posterior margin (Fig. 19h View Figure 19 ).

Head, thorax and abdomen dorsally brown or grey-brown, with pattern as in Fig. 24c View Figure 24 or 24d; head, thorax and abdomen ventrally light brown or light grey, abdominal segment IX laterally with dark brown streaks. Femur light brown or light grey, apically and dorsally along margin dark brown, with large, distomedial, dark brown spot; tibia light brown or grey, basally dark brown along patella-tibial suture; tarsus light brown or grey, dark brown in distal half. Caudalii light grey-brown, darker brown area on ca. ½ of cerci length; primary swimming setae dark brown.
Precursors of turbinate eyes in male last instar larvae representing a pair of brownish, egg-shaped maculae; in the middle of this macula, a smaller, round, elevated area with well-expressed facets, ca. 14 facets in diameter; peripheral area of the macula with indistinct facets (Figs 24c, d View Figure 24 , 25d View Figure 25 ).

Etymology.
Dedicated to Joachim Kaltenbach, the late father of the first author.
Distribution.
Indonesia: Sumatra (Fig. 28b View Figure 28 ).
Biological aspects.
The specimens were collected on altitudes between 845 m and 1270 m, in the following physical conditions: slope 5-10%, width of stream 0.2-8 m, depth 7-40 cm, velocity 0.3 m/s-0.8 m/s, pH 6.5-7.5, stream bed dominated by boulder, stones and gravel and only exceptionally by sand and silt. Some of the sites were influenced or polluted by human activities.
