Abstract

This paper deals with two mayfly species (Ephemeroptera) belonging to the family Leptophlebiidae and inhabiting a lowland dipterocarp forest in East Kalimantan (Indonesia). Isca lea sp. nov. is relatively abundant in our study site and differs from all other known species by its 7 th gill composed of two lamellae instead of one. A peculiar species previously identified as Dipterophlebiodes sp. (Leptophlebiinae) belongs to a new genus Kilariodes gen. nov. (Atalophlebiinae), characterized, among others, by the shape of the mandibles and of the labrum. Kilariodes marifae sp. nov. is extremely rare and has been found in a single stream. Both new species lack posterior wings or wing pads.
