Overview

The taxonomic study identifies new species of Baetidae, including a new subgenus, indicating unique genetic traits in Fiji’s mayflies.

Key Points

  • This research aims to classify mayflies in the Fiji Islands and describe new species and subgenera.
  • Material collected in 2024 from nine rivers in Fiji.
  • Taxonomic classification of mayflies based on larvae and female imagos.
  • DNA barcodes obtained for species identification and genetic distance analysis using Kimura-2 parameter.
  • Description of a new subgenus, Fijifiliola, and ten new species of mayflies.
  • Analysis of genetic distances revealed unique traits among new species.
  • Discussion of reproductive phenomena such as parthenogenesis and ovoviviparity in mayflies.
