Abstract
Edmundsiops instigatus (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae), n. gen. and sp., is descr ibed for larvae collected from eastern Australia. The new genus is distingu ished by the basally bulbous and apically bifid right prostheca, apically a cute segment 2 of the maxillary palps, and bulbous segment 3 of the labial palps. The considerable intraspecific variation in body coloration, body si ze, leg setation, and paraproct spination in larvae of E. instigatus is dis cussed.
