Styligeral muscle with median portion short, not reaching bases of unistyligers; lateral portions of styligeral muscle divergent, much longer than median portion, attached at bases of unistyligers (Fig. 51) [see Monilistylus (1)].
Female and eggs. Unknown.
Dimensions. Fore wing length (and body length) 6.5 mm.
Comparison. Imago of the new species Procloeon (Monilistylus) ornatipennis sp. n. differs from Procloeon (Monilistylus) monilistylus by presence of brown maculae on the wings, coloration of abdomen and the shape of the first segment of the gonostylus. Larva of P. (M.) ornatipennis sp. n. differs from P. (M.) monilistylus by the following characters: dorsal surface of labrum in P. (M.) ornatipennis with long, evenly scattered setae (Fig. 16), while P. (M.) monilistylus has only few very thin setae; denticles on claw in P. (M.) ornatipennis are larger and occupy nearly half of claw length (Fig. 32), while in P. (M.) monilistylus they are smaller and occupy less than 1/3 of claw length (Kluge et al. 2014: fig. 21).
Male imagines of the both species of Monilistylus can be distinguished from all other Baetidae by peculiar genitals [see above, Monilistylus (1)]. Larvae of the both species of Monilistylus can be distinguished by the following combination of characters: (1) cerci with spines characteristic for Procloeon /g1 (see above) (Fig. 7); (2) mandibles of the « Centroptilum - type » [see above, Monilistylus (3)] (Figs 18–25) (in contrast to Procloeon s.str. and Oculogaster); (3) labrum, maxillae and labium of a usual structure, with glossae pointed (Figs 16, 17, 26–29) (in contrast to Pseudocentroptiloides and Securiops).
