Abstract
A new name Acentrella feropagus, new species, is proposed for the North Ame rican baetids that were previously known as Acentrella lapponica or Baetis lapponicus and which had been described in the larval stage by Morihara and McCafferty. The species is apparently confined to northern Canada and Alas ka. Characteristics of the femora and tibiae as well as labial palps may be used to differentiate larvae of A. feropagus from those of the European sp ecies A. lapponica.
