Abstract

A new species Alainites neeru sp. nov. is described based on larvae collected from a hill stream in Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is the first report of the genus Alainites Waltz & McCafferty, 1994 from India. The new species is closely related to the Palearctic species A. muticus (Linnaeus, 1758), but can be distinguished from the latter by the length of the maxillary palp, the reduced number of spine-like setae on the margin between the prostheca and mola of the right mandible, the reduced tracheation in the tergalii, and by a reduced number of spines on the prolongation of the paraproct. With this record, the genus Alainites encompasses a total of twenty-two species.

印度首次记录到 Alainites Waltz & McCafferty, 1994 属（蜉蝣目，蝶科），并描述了喜马拉雅山西北部的一个新种

根据从印度查谟和克什米尔的一条山溪中采集的幼虫，描述了一个新种 Alainites neeru sp.这是印度首次报道 Alainites Waltz & McCafferty, 1994 属。该新种与古北界种 A. muticus（Linnaeus，1758 年）亲缘关系密切，但可通过上颚的长度、右下颚假颚与臼齿之间边缘上的刺状刚毛数量的减少、tergalii 中气管的减少以及副肛门延长部分上刺状刚毛数量的减少与后者区分开来。有了这一记录，Alainites 属共有 22 个物种。

期刊介绍： EJT is a fully refereed, international, fully electronic Open Access journal in descriptive taxonomy, covering subjects in zoology, entomology, botany (in its broadest sense), and palaeontology. EJT-papers must be original and adhere to high scientific (content) and technical (language, artwork, etc.) standards. Manuscripts that are clearly substandard in either of these categories will not be sent out for review. EJT is supported by a consortium of European Natural History Institutes, but its scope is global. Both authorship and geographical region of study need not be European. Authors are, however, strongly encouraged to involve European Natural History collections by consulting material or by depositing specimens (e.g. types and figured material) related to their published paper in the collection of a European Natural History Institute.
