Phylogeny and Systematics 
of 
Ephemeroptera


by N.J. Kluge 


 Systematic position of Ephemeroptera  is discussed in the book "Modern systematics of insects", about which you can read here in Russian or in  English.


 Fossil records  are discussed in the books:

* "History of Insects"

* "The phylogenetic system of Ephemeroptera"


 Phylogenetic classification of Ephemeroptera 

* The most recent published version is given in the book by N.J. Kluge 2004. "The phylogenetic system of Ephemeroptera" - Kluwer Academic Publishers (Volume 1: Ephemeroptera except for Turbanoculata and Leptophlebia/fg1)

* The most recent version on web is PHYLOGENY OF EPHEMEROPTERA.

* The old version in Russian (year 2000) titled "Revision of supra-species taxa of Ephemeroptera (except for Atalophlebia/fg1)" is available here.


 Nomenclature.  In the monographs "Modern systematics of insects" and the "The phylogenetic system of Ephemeroptera", there are used post-Linnaean principles of non-ranking systematics and nomenclature, about which you can read here: in Russian,  in English or in Spanish. If you do not want to read these long texts in any of these languages, in order to understand what are the HIERARCHICAL NAMES, click here.

* See also the list of publications on principles of non-ranking zoological nomenclature

* For circumscriptional names - see NOMINA CIRCUMSCRIBENTIA INSECTORUM

* For all ranking names of species-group, genus-group and family-group - see EPHEMEROPTERA OF THE WORLD


 Type-specimens.
