Teloganodes insignis ( Wang & McCafferty, 1996) comb. nov.

= Macafertiella insignis Wang & McCafferty, 1996:16 .

Material examined. None

Description. The description of the nymph is available in Wang & McCafferty (1996). The illustrated specimen is obviously characterised by its used and worn mouthparts, especially the mandibles and maxillae. Gills are present on segments II–VI.

Thanks to the courtesy of Dr. J. M. Webb (Purdue University) who examined the type material, we can amend the original description. The most important character concerns the presence of a row of setae below the mola of the left mandible. All species examined here lack these setae, but such a row was illustrated by Wang & McCafferty (1996, fig. 3). In fact these setae are also absent in T. insignis . The outer margin of the fore femora bears about 12–15 short, thick and pointed setae together with long and thin setae; a row of submarginal blunt and short setae is also present; the middle and hind femora have similar patterns. The median tubercle on tergum X is slightly longer or subequal in length to that on tergum III.

Adult stages unknown.
