Ephemera compar
Species of mayfly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most likely, Ephemera compar is an extinct species of burrowing mayfly in the family Ephemeridae. It was found in North America.[1][2][3] Ephemera compar is known from a single specimen, collected from the "foothills of Colorado" in 1873, but despite intensive surveys of the Colorado mayflies reported in 1984, it has not been rediscovered.[4]
