Comments. The nymph of C. (Callibaetis) molinerii sp. nov. is similar to the nymph of C. (Callibaetis) cruentus Cruz, Salles & Hamada , and can be distinguished by the presence of tuft of stout setae on outer margin proximad of maxillary palp insertion in C. (Callibaetis) molinerii sp. nov.

Etymology. The name of this species is in honour of Dr. Carlos Molineri, for his significant contributions to the knowledge of the Ephemeroptera in South America.
