Phylogeny and higher classification of Ephemeroptera

N.Ju. Kluge

Abstract. The order Ephemeroptera is divided into Permoplectoptera and Euplectoptera; Euplectoptera are divided into two holophyletic taxa-Posteritorna and Anteritorna; Anteritorna are divided into Tridentiseta (which is possibly a paraphyletic group) and a holophyletic taxon Bidentiseta; Bidentiseta are divided into Branchitergaliae and Furcatergaliae. Characters of these taxa are described and discussed, together with characters of higher taxa in Ephemeroptera suggested by other authors.
