Abstract
Apobaetis (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae) is reviewed and newly reported fro m South America. Apobaetis signifer, sp. n., is described from larvae from Brazil and Paraguay. Larvae of the new species are distinguished by short, two-segmented maxillary palps and abdominal coloration. The South American species is apparently plesiotypic relative to known Nea rctic congeners, suggesting a Neotropical center of origin for Apobaet is.
