JACOBUS, MCCAFFERTY et GATTOLLIAT, 2006 in the Afrotropics now allows a secure identification and attribution of the taxa (JACOBUS et al. 2006). The maie imago can be identified by the following combination of characters: forewings with single intercalaries, absence of hindwings, first segment of the gonopods strongly constricted apically and third segment truncated (WUILLOT & GILLIES 1993, JACOBUS etat 2006). Distribution - This species has a wide distribution in the Afrotropics, including West (Mali and Guinea), Central (Uganda) and Southern Africa (South Africa) (GILLIES 1990a, KlMMINS 1956, MCCAFFERTY 2001, WUILLOT & GILLIES 1993, JACOBUS et al. 2006). This new record is therefore included in the previous geographical range of the species. Cloeon smae

leni LESTAGE, 1924 Material examined - GHANA: Northern Region, Banda-Nkwanta, Volta, 2°09'W, 8°22'N, 122 m, 2 ??, 05.09.1965 (G071); Ashanti Region, Kumasi, Volta, 1°36'W, 6°43'N, 293 m, 1 Ç, 10.12.1967 (G290). All collected by S. ENDRŐDY-YOUNGA. Diagnostic features - Cloeon LEACH, 1815 is one of the few genera of Baetidae for which the colouration of the abdomen and wings allows species-level determination of female imagoes. The wings of C. smaeleni females have the costal and subcostal area uniformly tinted brown with small hyaline windows bordering the cross-veins (fig. 2 in GILLIES 19806; fig. 11 in GATTOLLIAT & R.ABEANTOANDRO 2002). The terga are light brown with specific dark brown markings (fig. 13 in GILLIES 19806). Distribution - Cloeon smaeleni is one of the most widespread and common species in the Afrotropics (DEMOULIN 1970). Its distribution also includes Madagascar and is the only species of Ephemeroptera which is not considered endemic of this island (GATTOLLIAT & RABEANTOANDRO 2002, MONAGHAN et al. 2005). GILLIES (1985) even mentioned four females from South Yemen. Cloeon smaeleni abounds in temporary ponds, rice fields, dams, slow moving streams and the margins of lakes (GILLIES 1980b). Cloeon sp. Material examined -GHANA: Ashanti Region, Kumasi, Volta, 1°36'W, 6°43'N, 293 m, 1 S, 28.09.1967 (G275), S. ENDRŐDY-YOUNGA. Diagnostic features - Although a key exists for the male imagoes of Cloeon (GILLIES 19806), specimens faded in alcohol cannot be determined with certainty.
