Middle leg with coxa and trochanter with setae; dorsal surface of femur covered with many long setae, mainly along margins, ventral surface bare, except apex with row of long curved setae; tibia with anterior margin distally projected and with crown of strong spines, posterior margin completely covered with very long setae, anterior margin basally bare, distal 1/3 densely covered with thick yellowish setae; tarsus, except for absence of crown of spines, similar in setation to tibia; tarsal claw long and slender, slightly curved when compared to fore tarsal claw, with row of 30–35 minute denticles. Hind leg ( Fig. 84) similar to middle leg, except for absence of crown of spines on tibia, dorsal surface of femur almost completely covered with weak setae and tarsal claw with row of 40–45 minute denticles (apical 5–6 denticles larger; see detail in Fig. 84). Abdomen. Lateral margins of all segments with row of long setae. Sterna I–VIII with few long setae on hind margin, sternum IX with medial row of long setae. Gills. Abdominal gill I bilobed and slightly purplish, dorsal lamella almost 3× width of ventral lamella, ventral lamella 2/3 length of dorsal lamella; gills II–VII shaded with purplish, darker on tracheae. Cercus 0.8× length of body, covered with setae dorsally and ventrally, setae more numerous and longer on outer margin, decreasing in length and number toward apex.
Etymology.We are honored to dedicate this species to our friend and colleague María del Carmen Zúñiga, who contributed enormously to the knowledge of Colombian mayflies.
Distribution( Fig. 179). Brazil( Amazonas, Bahia, Mato Grosso do Sul, Roraima), Colombia, Venezuela; Guyana( Traver 1947, approx. N 5° 59'/ W 58° 30').
Diagnosis. Campsurus zunigae sp. nov.can be distinguished from other species of Campsurus, in the adult stage, by: 1) posterior margin of male abdominal sternum IX truncate ( Fig. 68); 2) pedestal of each side almost touching basally, long and slender, well-developed, outer-posterior margin projected forming a parastylus that is apically pointed in lateral view, inner margin strongly projected ( Fig. 68–69); 3) base of main lobe of penes strongly expanded laterally and proximally, dorsal surface smooth ( Figs. 68–70), apical 1/3 of penes narrowing toward apex, apically pointed and slightly curved ventrally ( Figs. 69–70); 4) very small size (length of male fore wings 5.0– 5.2 mm). In the nymph: 1) small single tubercle at base of antenna, scape bare ( Fig. 77); 2) pre-ocular group of setae on gena arise from a slightly elevated area, inner margin of compound eye without row of setae ( Fig. 77); 3) mandibular tusks ( Figs. 78–80) with apex slightly curved inwardly, inner margin with 13–14 small tubercles, smaller toward apex of tusk, outer margin with 22–25 strong blade-like spines and long setae, without basal group of stout spines on dorsomedial surface; 4) fore femur slender (length / maximum width = 2.4), fore tibiae with relatively straight or very slightly curved margins ( Figs. 82–83); 5) tarsal claws with a single row of many minute denticles except that the apical 4–6 ones are larger ( Figs. 82, 84).
Discussion.Please see character discussion under C. nessimiani sp. nov., above. Traver (1947)described and illustrated a male from Guyana(Rockstone, EssequiboRiver, 30.vi.1927, Cornell University Entomological Expedition) as Campsurussp. B. The genitalia drawn by Traver (1947: Fig. 35)is completely consistent with those of the specimens described here. The genitalia of only one other species ( C. nessimiani sp. nov.) are approximate to Traver´s drawing, but in that species, the penes are not so expanded basally, and the pedestals are slightly shorter.
