Material collected in 2018 in Cambodia gives us first insights into the diversity of Novikova & Kluge, 1987 in this country. No species has been reported so far. We identified two new species using a combination of morphology and genetic distance (COI, Kimura 2-parameter).

Only three species were previously reported: (Müller-Liebenau, 1982) and (Müller-Liebenau, 1982) from larvae and (Ulmer, 1924) from adults. Eighteen new species have been identified using a combination of morphology and genetic distance (COI, Kimura 2-parameter).

An overview of the diagnostic characters of Philippine species and characters with high intraspecific variability are given. Six new species of are described and illustrated: Garces & Sartori, , Garces & Sartori, , Garces & Sartori, , Garces & Sartori, , Garces & Sartori, , and Garces & Sartori, , all known from the nymphal stage.

Barcode sequences can be generated in the field using portable systems based on the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION sequencer. However, to achieve a broader application, current proof-of-principle workflows for on-site barcoding analysis must be standardized to ensure a reliable and robust performance under suboptimal field conditions without increasing costs.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA new mayfly species, (Tricorythidae) is described from Mindoro Island, Philippines. Nymphs are characterized by the combination of the following characters: compound eyes of approximately equal size in both sexes, shape and setation of legs, presence of rudimentary gills on abdominal segment VII, and some details of mouthparts. Male imagines are characterized by the coloration pattern of wings and details of genitalia.
