Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) of the Yukon
Abstract. Thirty taxa of mayflies are reported from the Yukon Territory. Four zoogeographical elements are recognized: 1) widespread Cordilleran and western coastal species, the largest group of species: Acentrella insignificans, Caenis youngi, Callibaetis ferrugineus hageni, Cinygmula spp., Drunell...
