The XVth International Conference on Ephemeroptera and XIXth International Symposium on Plecoptera were held 3-8 June in Aracruz, Brazil. Many participants arrived at the Vitória airport and were shuttled to the Praia Formosa SESC lodge, the conference site, passing through several towns and catching glimpses of the Atlantic Ocean along the way.
3 June Upon arriving at the conference site, participants checked in at the lodge’s registration desk and received a yellow wrist band which identified us as residents at the lodge for the week. Then it asw on to the meeting room where we received our registration package which included a t-shirt, mug and sandals emblazoned with a colorful mayfly and stonefly from the conference logo. That evening, an opening ceremony was held in the cafeteria. A variety of drinks and a nice selection of delicious foods were available. For many of us, it had been three years since we last saw each other at the conference in Scotland.
4 June The scientific program officially began at 8:30. Frederico Salles, one of the convenors, welcomed the group to Brazil. There were 81 participants, five of whom were accompanying persons, from 20 countries. He reviewed the process (challenge!) of hosting an international meeting. He pointed out that we are not simply a group of scientists, we are also friends who like to discuss mayflies and stoneflies. Frederico noted that it has been 20 years since Argentina hosted the joint international conference. Because of that fact, plus the tremendous increase in research on aquatic insects in South America, it was appropriate for Brazil to host this conference. Frederico acknowledged two scientists in particular who were instrumental in establishing research on aquatic insects in South America – Claudio Frohelich (stoneflies) and Elidiomar Ribeiro da Silva (mayflies). He also thanked his colleagues and students who assisted with the conference. He announced that there will be four awards for student presentations – two for mayfly studies (oral and poster presentations) and two for stonefly studies (oral and poster presentations). Next John Brittain and Michel Sartori both welcomed the participants and thanked the organizers for hosting the meeting. John, President of the Standing Committee of the International Society of Plecopterologists, noted the passing of Stan Szczytko, Lydija Zhiltova, Andrew Sheldon, Per Brinck and David Lenat since the last conference. Michel, President of the Permanent Committee of the International Conferences on Ephemeroptera, reminded everyone that the proceeds of the silent auction will go to the William Peters Scholarship Fund, which provides travel assistance to students to attend the conference. He pointed out that the number of known mayfly species continues to increase and is currently over 3500 species. Michel noted the passing of Ingrid Müller-Liebenau and Dietrich Braasch since the last conference. The accompanying persons program (http://ephemeroptera.com.br/accompanying-persons-program-2/) began this morning with a trip to Guarapari and Paulo Cesar Vinha State Park. The first research presentation was an invited lecture by Arnold Staniczek on the fossil history of mayflies. He reviewed studies on fossil mayflies and compared the apomorphic characters used in those studies. Many of those characters are not unique to mayflies, but one is – the costal brace. Next it was time for a break. During the conference there were breaks mid-morning and mid-afternoon. This gave the participants a time to chat and to look at the posters in the hallway. These breaks also gave participants a chance to look at items in the silent auction and make a bid. During each break, several juices were served along with coffee, cookies, cakes and sandwiches. After the break the first oral session was presented on ecology and biomonitoring. A lunch break followed which was two-hours in length. All meals were served in the cafeteria, just a short walk from the conference room. There was always a nice selection of local cuisine, drinks, salad, and fruit. Participants took advantage of the long lunch break. Several visited the water park on the south end of the meeting site. There was also a nice trail leading to several gardens. Simply walking around the grounds provided photo opportunities of hummingbirds, flowers and a variety of birds. The pair of burrowing owls were popular with photographers. The Atlantic Ocean was just across the street and provided a nice opportunity for swimming or a quiet walk among the restinga (characteristic seaside vegetation). As this was the beginning of winter in Brazil, we basically had the entire lodge to ourselves. The session after lunch was on phylogeny, systematics and taxonomy. The second invited lecture was presented by Zhi-Teng Chen on recent Plecoptera research in China. The last oral session dealt with distribution and faunistics. Then it was time for dinner. All meals featured Brazilian cuisine such as moqueca capixaba (tomato and fish stew), feijoada (black bean stew), and farofa (toasted cassava flour mixture).

5 June There were two invited lectures this day. Eduardo Domínguez discussed the systematic, morphological and functional value of bullae in Ephemeroptera wings and Paula Souto examined the phylogeny of Leptohyphidae using morphological and molecular data. Oral sessions dealt with ecology, biomonitoring and conservation; distribution and faunistics; and biogeography and phylogeography. A group photo (https://photos.app.goo.gl/DoP7GVzgoHPyEHdL6) was taken to commemorate the conference and separate photos were taken for mayfly and stonefly workers. At the end of the day, Ed DeWalt and Boris Kondratieff presented a proposal to host the next joint international conference at the Mountain Campus of Colorado State University near Fort Collins (USA). Tentative dates are 25 July- 1 August 2021. Cost estimate is $112/person/night (double occupancy) which includes meals. The traditional joint conference schedule will be followed and a program will be available for accompanying persons. After Ed and Boris’ presentation, the mayfly and stonefly committees had separate meetings. Minutes of the mayfly meeting may be found on p. 8 of this newsletter. In the morning the accompanying persons visited the Augusto Ruschi Marine Biological Station, which was close to the conference center, where they were privileged to see many different species of hummingbirds at the feeding posts. They also took a boat trip along the Piraquê-Açú Rivers. This was a particularly memorable trip as their boat ran out of gas! They eventually returned to the dock to continue their tour to an indigenous Guarani village. After dinner, Frederico invited everyone to the lodge’s tavern for a surprise, which could be heard approaching us from a distance – a samba group! Their rhythmic beat got many people out of their seats to sway with the music. These performers are actually part of a larger group that competes during the annual Carnival of Brazil festival.
6 June Around 8:00 AM the participants were loaded into two buses for the mid-conference trip to Monte Verde Golf and Resort. We rode south through Vitória while many of the shopkeepers were preparing for the day. We then headed west for a rest stop at Pousada Peterle, from which we could see Pedra Azul, an impressive rock formation in the state park of the same name. From there we traveled south to the resort, near Vargem Alta, and arrived around lunch time. At the resort we were treated to an incredible banquet of all kinds of food and desserts. There was even a churrascaria cooking beef, chicken and sausage. After lunch people spread out over the resort to explore. Some examined the local stream for mayflies and stoneflies. Others took to the trail through the Atlantic forest which led to a lovely view of the resort. The trail was challenging at times but the fungi, lichens, orchids and giant ferns that we saw along the way made the effort worthwhile. Shortly after 4:00 PM we filled the busses and made our way back to the conference site. We arrived in Vitória around rush hour which slowed our travel considerably, but it was interesting watching the motorcyclists weaving in and out of stopped traffic and the food vendors who braved this traffic to sell their hot food to drivers and passengers. Nevertheless, we made it back to the lodge in time to eat even more food for dinner!
7 June The two invited lectures this day were on current knowledge and perspectives on South American Plecoptera by Pablo Pessaq and explaining the excess of rare immature stream insects by Adriano Melo. Oral session topics included biology and reproduction; ecology, biomonitoring and conservation; and biogeography, biology and faunistics. It was interesting to reflect a bit on how the study of mayflies and stoneflies has changed over the decades as technology has evolved. Our science began with simple observations and descriptions. Later morphological and phylogenetic analyses were developed. And now we use molecular analyses, controlled experiments, and even CT scans! As John Brittain pointed out, this is one advantage of the ephemeropterists and plecopterologists meeting together – we can learn new techniques from each other which makes our science even stronger. A special presentation on EPT taxa and their Red Book listing was presented by Helen Barber-James, with Craig Macadam and Ian Campbell as coauthors. Eleven EPT species have global Red Book status. Prior to the end of the meeting, Arnold Staniczek encouraged everyone to be generous with their silent auction bids. The mayfly and stonefly committees held a joint meeting at the end of the day. Minutes of this meeting may be found on p. 9 of this newsletter. This day the accompanying persons visited Santa Teresa and the Instituto Nacional da Mata Atlântica.

8 June Time was provided prior to oral presentations to allow participants to make final bids in the silent auction. Over $1000 US dollars ($4012 Brazilian Real) were collected for the travel scholarship fund! The invited lectures were presented by Heath Ogden on phylogenomics and evolution of mayflies and Boris Kondratieff on the Nearctic species of Kogotus. Participants took a final look at poster papers before submitting their votes for best student posters and oral presentations. The accompanying persons visited Convento da Penha monastery, paneleiras (artisanal pan manufacturers), and had lunch at the Curva da Jurema beach. That evening the conference dinner was held in the cafeteria. The participants lined up to serve themselves. As usual, there was an incredible assortment of delicious Brazilian food. After the meal, Michel and John served as the masters of ceremony. First, the travel scholarships were presented to Ranalison Oliarinony (Madagascar), Ľuboš Hrivniak (Slovakia), Jhoana Garces (Philippines) and Nadhira Benhadhji (Algeria) from the mayfly committee. Next, Eric South, Evan Newman and Chris Verdone, all from USA, received travel awards from the stonefly committee. John then presented stonefly lifetime achievement awards to Romolo Fochetti (Italy), Charles Nelson (USA), and Rainer Rupprecht (Germany). Michel followed by presenting mayfly lifetime achievement awards to John Brittain (Norway), Eduardo Domínguez (Argentina) and Peter Grant (USA). New additions to the committees were announced: Frederico Salles and Helen Barber-James on the mayfly committee and Pablo Pessaq on the stonefly committee. Frederico acknowledged the assistance of members of the scientific committee and other olunteers.v Certificates were also presented to the three convenors - Frederico Falcão Salles, Rodolfo Mariano and Roberta Paresque – and to the many volunteers who assisted. Finally, the awards for student presentations were announced. For posters, Ines Corréa Gonçalves (mayflies) and Lucas Henrique de Almeida (stoneflies) won. For oral presentations, Maud Liégeois (mayflies) and Maribet Gamboa (stoneflies) won. Frederico then thanked everyone for attending and officially concluded the conference.
9 June While some participants were leaving to return home, 37 people took the opportunity to participate in the post- conference trip. We rode through the cities of Sooretama and Linhares to our destination in the Atlantic forest of the Reserva Natural da Vale. Just as during the mid-conference trip, it was interesting to relax and be a tourist while riding in the bus – looking out the window at the passing scenery and the fields of eucalyptus, coconut, coffee and bananas. We walked around the administrative area of the reserve and had the opportunity to look at the reserve’s insect collection. The bus then took us to a different area of the park where we walked along a boardwalk trail and saw monkeys and cupuaçu fruit trees. After the walk we ate lunch. Many later walked the nature trail. We left around 4:30 and returned to the conference site tired but happy.
10 June At our last breakfast, Cesar Nascimento Francischetti met participants with fresh cupuaçu juice, the fruit of which we saw during the post-conference trip. Participants left at various times to the Vitória airport in the shuttle to head back home. While at the airport, Cesar pointed out cupuaçu ice cream for sale which several of us just had to sample. So, this was another wonderful joint conference. Great presentations, an opportunity to catch up with friends, and the chance to explore a fascinating country. Congratulations and thanks to Frederico and his colleagues.

Permanent Committee of the International Conferences on Ephemeroptera Business Meeting 5 June 2018, Aracruz, Brazil
Submitted by Alexa C. Alexander Trusiak, Environnement et changement climatique Canada | Environment and Climate Change Canada, Department of Biology and Canadian Rivers Institute, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, NB, CANADA, E3B 5A3 [email protected]
In attendance: Michel Sartori, Peter Grant, Arnold Staniczek, John Brittain, Eduardo Domínguez, Tomáš Soldán, Alexa Alexander Trusiak. Michel welcomed the committee members to the meeting.
Silent Auction. The organization of the silent auction was discussed. Several suggestions were put forward that could be implemented at future meetings. As the funds from the silent auction provides the funds for scholarships, generous donations should be encouraged. The suggestion for a two-part auction (silent followed by an open auction) was reiterated from the original proposal at the Aberdeen meeting. Suggested minimum bids were also recommended and could be identified by the donor at the time of the donation to the auction.
Travel Scholarships. Twelve students applied for the $4,000 in travel scholarship offered to conference attendees. Four were awarded at the meeting ($3,300 in total). (See meeting summary on p. 5 for the names of recipients). The conveners waived the registration fees for these students and recipients received $600 to $1,400 CAD by international money transfer at the time of the meeting (to be disbursed during the conference dinner Friday evening). As previous, Pete and Alexa wrote receipts for all donors (31 receipted items in total). Alexa also shared the financial statement with the committee (see Table 1).
Next Joint Meeting. The committee accepted the proposal for the 2021 meeting in Colorado.
The Mayfly Newsletter. Donna Giberson has been editing the mayfly newsletter and has agreed to publish the report of the meeting (from Pete).
Ephemeroptera Galactica. Arnold updated the committee on the challenges with the website. The committee suggested that a private website engineer (or a student) be approached for a quote to facilitate moving forward.
Proceedings. For the Brazil conference the proceedings are planned to be offered in Zoosymposia. It was suggested that the cost of the proceedings be highlighted to future conveners early on in the process. The committee also noted that further work is needed on the proceedings to identify low-cost options in the open-access market. Alexa is to follow up on creating a group on ResearchGate as a possible option to facilitate sharing papers.
Joint meeting. A joint meeting with the Plecoptera Committee will be held on Thursday after the last session.
New Members of the Permanent Committee. Frederico Salles and Helen Barber-James will be invited to join the committee. Table 1.

Summary of the Best In Science Mayfly Symposium March 21, 2018, Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada
Submitted by Trudy Watson-Leung Sediment and Aquatic Toxicologist, Aquatic Toxicology Unit Biological Assessment Unit, Laboratory Services Branch Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
On March 21st, 2018 the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) Best In Science program hosted its 2nd symposium on Current Research and Understanding of Mayfly Taxonomy, Physiology, Biology, Ecology and Toxicology as it relates to the protection of our Aquatic Ecosystems. There were 60 attendees and presenters from a diverse group of scientific disciplines including taxonomists, physiologists, biologists, ecologists, chemists, geneticists, and toxicologists. Mayflies are important bio-indicators of impaired ecosystems and the goal of this symposium was to link these diverse disciplines and engage in a conversation about our current research and our understanding of this ecologically, socially and economically important group of aquatic organisms. The symposium was coordinated by the MOECC Aquatic Toxicology Unit, and meeting participants included 5 representatives from 3 Conservation Authorities, 7 representatives from 4 private consultants, 27 government representatives, 17 representatives from 8 academic institutions, 3 representatives from 2 Non-Government Organizations and 1 member of the public. Eighteen attendees attended remotely via Adobe Connect.
The following are the highlights from the day’s presentations: • Presentations at the meeting provided a better understanding of mechanisms of feeding during early life stages which could influence habitat choice and sensitivity of mayflies and inform culturing practices for this organism.
• MOECC collaborative studies with York University led to the discovery that salt regulation occurs in the gills and gut of Hexagenia spp. York University researchers plan to broaden their collaboration and further investigate how mayfly species habitat preference may be related to their mechanism of salt regulation and the implications this may have on species sensitivity to road salt contamination. This researcher recently received an award at the Canadian Society of Zoologists for her effectiveness at communicating the relevance of mayfly nymphs as an important model of study.
• Researchers from Alma College, Michigan, discussed their advances in using Hexagenia spp. in long term water tests to allow for increased data to improve water quality guideline development and to improve our ability to interpret the results of sediment quality assessments.
• Presenters from the Ontario Benthic Biomonitoring Network informed the group about their work to incorporate sensitive mayfly species into their monitoring program, thereby helping to track the presence and disappearance of indicator species across the province.
• There were presentations and discussions on the complexities of laboratory testing with mayflies and identified interesting new and novel sub-lethal toxicity endpoints such as time to egg hatch and time to successfully burrow.
• The last three presentations were on the collaborative research work on a variety of freshwater invertebrates, including two laboratory reared mayflies, to determine the sensitivity of mayflies to a variety of neonicotinoid pesticides.
• An early look at the transcriptomic impact of neonicotinoid exposure showed promising results that will help inform the adverse outcome pathway for neonicotinoid pesticides in a novel species and assist with the development of an affordable early warning molecular level response tool for measurement of the impact of exposure to this pesticide.

Endemism Among Canada’s Mayfly Species (Insecta: Ephemeroptera)1 Luke M. Jacobus Associate Professor of Biology Division of Science, Indiana University Purdue University Columbus, Columbus, Indiana, USA
While preparing a common names report (with P. Harper) for the General Status of Species in Canada for the Canadian Wildlife Service and preparing a chapter about mayflies (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) for the Biota of Canada project of the Biological Survey of Canada, it became apparent to me that among the 335 mayfly species currently reported from Canada (McCafferty 1996, McCafferty & Jacobus 2018), only ten are known only from Canada. The number of truly endemic species in Canada probably is at most three, however, as the distributions of the other species are poorly known, and they are highly likely to occur in the USA. One such example of a poorly known Canadian species being found recently for the first time in the USA is Macdunnoa nipawinia Lehmkuhl 1979 (Heptageniidae) (Stagliano 2016). Low endemism in Canada is not surprising, considering the recent glacial history of Canada and therefore the large degree to which the current fauna reflects dispersal and post-glaciation recolonization events (Peters 1988; McCafferty and Randolph 1998). Each of the ten species known only from Canada is discussed below in hopes of stimulating research activity to understand them better. Two additional species, now considered nomena dubia, also are discussed.
Acerpenna akataleptos (McDunnough 1926) (Baetidae), the out-of-reach small minnow mayfly, remains known only from the original material collected near Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and Cypress Hills, Alberta. The species is known only from the adult stage, which probably has contributed to our limited knowledge of its distribution, given that in recent years the larval stage of mayflies tends to be more commonly sampled and studied. The male genitalia of A. akataleptos are quite different from others in the genus (Jacobus and McCafferty 2002a). Once the larva is associated with the species, it may prove to belong to a different genus, as has been the case with some other species formerly included in Acerpenna Waltz and McCafferty 1987 (McCafferty et al. 2008). Given its presence in far southern Alberta, it likely will be found in adjoining parts of the USA.

Baetis hudsonicus Ide 1937 (Baetidae), the Hudsonia small minnow mayfly, is a genetically distinct, but sometimes morphologically cryptic, species known from the Northwest Territories, Manitoba and Nunavut; only females are known for the species, but more study is needed to determine if it is indeed obligately parthenogenetic (Ide 1937, Giberson et al. 2007, Webb et al. 2012, Cordero et al. 2017, D. Giberson pers. comm.). This species may be endemic to Canada, but its wide, far northern distribution suggests that it could be Holarctic.
Baetis persecutus McDunnough 1939 (Baetidae), the galling small minnow mayfly, is known from southern British Columbia based on two adult specimens (solid star in map below) and possibly from Alberta based on the adult and larval stages (open stars on map below). Baetis persecutus is part of a taxonomically difficult complex of species that requires more material to assess the morphological and genetic differences within and between species before sound conclusions can be made about its distribution and conservation status (Webb et al. 2018). I recently examined one male adult in the Purdue University Entomological Research Collection, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA, that may belong to this species (USA: Washington state: Mt. Rainier, Paradise Valley, 11-VIII-1946, 4500’, pinned collection), but more study of the Baetis piscatoris complex of species is needed before conclusions can be drawn about its identity, and thus the range of distribution of the species (Webb et al. 2018).
Volume 21(1) Summer 2018 The Mayfly Newsletter 15
Kirmaushenkreena zarankoae McCafferty 2011 (Baetidae), Zaranko’s small minnow mayfly, is known from a single larva collected from Baker Lake in Nunavut on 20 August, and it is the only species in its genus (McCafferty 2011). It may be endemic to Canada and should be prioritized for further study.
The genus Procloeon Bengtsson 1915 (Baetidae) is relatively poorly understood in North America. Three of the ten mayfly species not known outside Canada are from this genus, and none of these three are known from the larval stage. Procloeon caliginosum (McDunnough 1925), the rough-shod small minnow mayfly, is known only from three adult specimens taken at Lachine (Montreal), Quebec (McDunnough 1925, Walley 1927, Traver 1935). Procloeon inanum (McDunnough 1924), the passive small minnow mayfly, has been reported from Waterton Lakes, Alberta and Churchill, Manitoba based on two male adults from each location (McDunnough 1924, Harper and Harper 1981). Procloeon insignificans (McDunnough 1925), the insignificant small minnow mayfly, is known only from two male adults collected at Ottawa, Ontario. Based on collection locales, it is reasonable to expect that each of these three species will be found in the northern USA. Coincidentally, Webb et al (2012) had three unidentifiable Procloeon species from Canada whose collection locales would fall within reasonably expected geographic ranges of distribution for the three named, but poorly known, species discussed here.

Caenis candida Harper and Harper 1981 (Caenidae), the white small square-gilled mayfly, was described from two series of adults from the James Bay drainage system in northwestern Quebec (Harper and Harper 1981); it remains known only from these records; the larva is unknown but it may prove to resemble a more common and widespread species (Provonsha 1990).
Volume 21(1) Summer 2018 The Mayfly Newsletter 17
Ironodes flavipennis Traver 1935 (Heptageniidae), the Summerland flat-headed mayfly, remains known only from near Maple Ridge and Summerland, British Columbia; it is known from the male adult and larval stages, but identification of species in this genus can be difficult (Jacobus and McCafferty 2002a). It likely will be found in adjoining northwestern USA.
Rhithrogena gaspeensis McDunnough 1933 (Heptageniidae), the Mt. Lyall flat-headed mayfly, is known only from a series of adults collected in the Chic-Choc mountains, on the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec (McDunnough 1933).
There are two species described from Canada that are now considered nomena dubia. These include Maccaffertium flaveolum (Pictet 1843), which has no common name (see discussion about species status by McCafferty and Bae 1992), and Ephemerella molita McDunnough 1930, the mobile spiny crawler mayfly (see discussion by Jacobus and McCafferty 2007). While the identities of these species cannot be determined at the present time, it is not implausible that they could be ascertained in the future as our understanding of various species improves and our ability to identify them using traditional and molecular methods also improves (e.g., Jacobus and McCafferty 2002b,c, Shokralla et al. 2011).

Looking beyond geopolitical boundaries, another species may be recognized as potentially endemic to northern North America, if Alaska is included (Randolph & McCafferty 2005, Rinella et al. 2012): Rhithrogena ingalik Randolph & McCafferty 2005 (Heptageniidae), the Birch Creek flat-headed mayfly. About 15 other species known only from Canada and/or Alaska in North America are known also from Europe and Asia (Jacobus unpublished). This is information not yet ascertainable from the North American list maintained by Mayfly Central.

We’re looking for submissions to the Mayfly Newsletter!
Do you have anything you’d like to share with your fellow ephemeropterists? In addition to the Notices, Mayfly Bibliography, and information about the upcoming International Meeting, we’d like to include project updates, book reviews, notices of upcoming meetings of interest to Ephemeroptera workers, requests for collaboration, and any interesting notes about mayflies.
So - my questions to you - Are you looking for collaborators on a project? Do you have some spectacular mayfly photos that you’d like to share with your colleagues? Is there a special collecting site or new collecting method whose details would be of interest to other mayfly workers? Have you ever had an adventure in collecting mayflies? We publish our data in our research papers, but sometimes the story behind the story is equally interesting!
Deadlines: - Summer issue: May 15 - Winter issue: Dec. 1
