Confirmation of Homoeoneuria Eaton, Confirmation of Homoeoneuria Eaton, 1881 (Ephemeroptera: Oligoneuriidae) record in Colombia

Abstract

Homoeoneuria Eaton, 1881 is a genus of the Oligoneuriidae family whose geographical distribution remains poorly documented, especially in the Northern region of South America. Here we confirm the record of Homoeoneuria inColombia, thus extending its distribution in South America beyond the records from Brazil, Peru, and Argentina. The confirmation was done on three nymphs from the department of Cesar found on sandy-silt sediments in the transition between the Andean and Caribbean regions.
