Figures 1 a, 4a, 6, 7, 30, 31c. Diagnosis. NYMPH. A) Large body size (> 7.0 mm); B) Body color pattern predominantly uniform ( Figs. 1 a, 4a); C) Labrum, medially, with two long setae ( Fig. 6 a); D) Maxillary palp short (around ¾ length of galea-lacinia, Fig. 6 g); E) Inner margin of labial palp segment III distinctly shorter than outer margin ( Fig. 6 i); F) Distal projection of fore femur long (distinctly exceeding apex of femur, Figs. 7 a, 7d); G) Gills with medial rib ( Fig. 7 h). Nymph. Lengths . Body: 7.0–10.0 mm; cerci: 3.0– 4.5 mm ; terminal filament: 3.0– 4.5 mm ; antenna: 2.0– 2.5 mm . Coloration ( Figs. 1 a, 4a). General coloration yellowish-white washed with brown. Head light brown with light yellow narrow longitudinal stripe on whole length of vertex; frons with area between antennal sockets yellowish. Thorax yellowish brown with brownish marks. Fore leg with coxa brown; trochanter yellowish-brown; femur yellowish washed with brown, except at base and apex of anterior surface; tibia and tarsus brown. Abdomen yellowish-brown washed with brown to dark brown with one lighter medial longitudinal stripe; segments II–VIII with yellowish smooth antero-sublateral area; segments VIII and IX eventually lighter. Sterna yellowish-brown. Caudal filaments brown with a yellowish band subdistally. Head . Labrum ( Figs. 6 a, 6b). Length about 0.9 × maximum width; dorsal arc with two medial setae; ventrally with 7–9 spine-like setae near lateral margin. Hypopharynx as in Fig. 6 c. Mandibles ( Figs. 6 d, 6e). Margin between prostheca and mola of left mandible with short spine-like setae ( Fig. 6 f); denticles of mola constricted at base ( Fig.6 f). Maxilla ( Fig. 6 g). Medially with 1 spine-like seta + 8 apically pointed setae. Maxillary palp short (around ¾ length of galea-lacinia); palp segment II equal to length of segment I. Labium ( Figs. 6 h, 6i , 6j). Base of glossa expanded (reaching at least half of paraglossa); inner and outer margin respectively with around 20 (ir in Fig. 6 j) and 15 (or in Fig. 6 j) pointed setae increasing in length apically; ventral surface scattered with few short setae at base. Paraglossa dorsally with arc of 4 setae close to inner margin (dia in Fig. 6 j); ventrally with arc of 8–10 setae close to inner margin (via in Fig. 6 j). Labial palp with segment I 0.9 × length of segments II and III combined; segment II dorsally with oblique row of 8 setae; segment III with distal margin slightly truncate; inner margin distinctly shorter than outer margin; ventrally covered with around 20 long setae; setae on inner margin serrate. Thorax . Hind wing pad. Present. Fore leg ( Fig. 7 d). Ratio 1.7:1( 0.8mm ):1:0.2. Femur. Length about 4.5 × maximum width; outer margin with row of 6–11 clavate setae ( Fig. 7 e); submarginal setae absent; anterior surface and inner margin with around 25 spine-like setae; posterior surface with around 15 scattered setae near inner margin; distal projection exceeding apex of femur ( Fig. 7 a), 0.4 × width of femur, apically with 3 clavate setae. Tibia. Outer margin with few simple setae; inner margin with two serrate setae on apex; subtending bristle blunt, clavate, extending apex of tibia ( Fig. 7 f). Tarsus. Inner margin with row of 12–17+1 spine-like short setae. Tarsal claw. 0.2 × length of tarsus. Mid and hind legs ( Figs. 7 b, 7c). Similar to fore leg, except for subapical projections of femur less developed and type of setae on inner apex of tibia on (simple instead of serrate). Abdomen . Terga ( Fig. 7 g). Spines present on posterior margins of segments III–X; larger spines on posterior margin of tergum IV 3.2 × longer than wide. Sterna . Spines present on posterior margin of segments IV–IX (segment III rarely with scarce spines). Gills ( Figs. 7 h, 7i ). Outer margin serrated on distal 1/4; inner margin slightly serrated; medial rib present; few secondary tracheae extending from main trunk to inner and outer margins. Gill I about 3/4 length of segment II; truncate. Gill IV 1 1/2 length of segment V, asymmetric, broad at middle. Gill VII about 1 1/2 length of segment VIII. Paraproct ( Fig. 7 j). With 12–14 marginal spines. Cercus . Without large spines. Terminal filament . Without large spines. Male and female imago. Unknown. Etymology. After the type-locality, River Aiuruoca . Distribution.
