Updated check-list of the mayflies (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) of Iraq

Collection: Pensoft Publishers

Keywords: aquatic biodiversity · Topics: Freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity and ecology, Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior, Coleoptera Taxonomy and Distribution

Based on a recent field survey in Iraqi Kurdistan and a critical evaluation of previously published data, 37 mayfly species are listed as occurring in Iraq. We collected and identified nine species as new for the country and corrected some previously published records. For several species scarcely treated in the literature, we provide information allowing their identification in the larval stage to promote the acquisition of reliable faunistic data from Iraq in the future.
