Abstract

Material collected in 1974 during the Austrian Hydrobiological Mission of F. Starmühlner to the Comoros and during recent years by one of the authors (NM) in the course of an ongoing freshwater monitoring program in Mayotte is the basis of this first larger study of the mayfly family Baetidae in the Comoros Archipelago (Comoros, Mayotte). We identified eight different species using morphological characters, four species on both the Comoros and Mayotte, three species on the Comoros only and one species on Mayotte only. Two species, Dabulamanzia mayottensis sp. nov. and Nigrobaetis richardi sp. nov., are new to science; they are described and illustrated based on their nymphs. The nymph of Afroptilum bicorne (Ulmer, 1909) is described for the first time and its assignment to this species is discussed. The description of the previously endemic Malagasy species Potamocloeon (Aquaediva) freitagae (Gattolliat, 2001), is complemented based on the additional material from the Comoros and re-examination of the type material. A key to the nymphs of all species of Baetidae in the Comoros and Mayotte is provided and the biogeography of the family in this region is discussed.

科摩罗和马约特岛的蜉蝣科

1974年奥地利的F. starm尔纳(F. starm尔纳)前往科摩罗的水文生物学任务期间收集的材料，以及近年来作者之一(NM)在马约特进行的淡水监测计划过程中收集的材料，是科摩罗群岛(科摩罗，马约特)蜉蝣科Baetidae首次大规模研究的基础。利用形态特征鉴定出8种不同的物种，其中科摩罗岛和马约特岛各有4种，科摩罗岛各有3种，马约特岛各有1种。Dabulamanzia mayottensis sp. 11和Nigrobaetis richardi sp. 11是新发现的物种;他们是根据他们的仙女来描述和说明的。本文首次描述了双角非洲花蜜(Afroptilum bicorne, Ulmer, 1909)的若虫，并讨论了其归属。以前马达加斯加特有物种Potamocloeon (Aquaediva) freitagae (Gattolliat, 2001年)的描述基于科摩罗的额外材料和对类型材料的重新检查进行了补充。提供了科摩罗和马约特岛所有贝提科物种的若虫的钥匙，并讨论了该地区贝提科的生物地理。

期刊介绍： African Invertebrates is an international peer-reviewed, open-access journal that focuses primarily on the taxonomy, systematics, biogeography, and palaeontology of Afrotropical invertebrates, whether terrestrial, freshwater or marine. Aspects concerning biology, ecology, and conservation may also be considered where these relate to the primary focus areas. Papers dealing solely with biology, ecology, physiology, pests and pest control should be submitted elsewhere.
