Accepted name: Baetis guttata F.-J. Pictet, 1843 nom. dub.

Locus typicus: “ Chili ”.

Type material: Holotype [by monotypy] female imago, not traced.

Remarks: F.-J. Pictet examined a single female from the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. This species certainly does not belong to the genus Ecdyonurus nor to the family Heptageniidae , which is absent from South America. The combination with Siphlonella (Oniscigastridae) proposed by Flowers & Peters (1981) is mainly based on the colour pattern. The holotype is presumably lost and the name Baetis guttata should be considered a nomen dubium.
