Resumen

There is extensive research of the Ephemeroptera communities taxonomy and ecology in the Andean region of Colombia. However, other regions such as the Orinoquia have been insufficiently studied. From this region, in the Meta department, four species have been registered: Varipes lasiobrachius Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty, Coryphorus aquilus Peters, Miroculis (Atroari) colombiensis Savage & Peters and Tricorythopsis rondoniensis (Dias, Cruz & Ferreira). The main objective of this study is to report for the first time for this region the species: Mayobaetis ellenae (Mayo), Hydrosmylodon primanus (Eaton), Haplohyphes baritu Domínguez, Camelobaetidus edmundsi Dominique, Mathuriau & Thomas and Nanomis galera Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty.

Introduction

The Ephemeroptera order is represented by approximately 3,500 species grouped in 460 genera and 42 families of which the Baetidae, Leptophlebiidae and Leptohyphidae families represent the greatest diversity in the Neotropic with approximately 473 described species (Barber-James et al. 2013; Dominguez and Dos Santos 2013; Barber-James 2014; Salles et al. 2016).

In South America there are 570 reported species (Domínguez and Dos Santos, 2013), of which, approximately, 86 are known in Colombia (Dias et al. 2009; Domínguez et al. 2012; Forero-Céspedes et al. 2014; García et al. 2013; Gutiérrez and Reinoso-Flórez, 2010; Gutiérrez, et al. 2013; Gutiérrez and Llano 2015; Hoyos et al. 2014; Molineri, 2014; Molineri et al. 2011; Motta-Díaz et al. 2012; Rozo and Salinas 2016; Salinas et al. 2011; Salinas et al. 2013; Salinas et al. 2012; Vinasco-Mondragón and Zúñiga, 2016; Zúñiga et al. 2014; Zúñiga et al. 2015; Zúñiga and Torres-Zambrano 2015). In the country, the Baetidae, Leptophlebiidae and Leptohyphidae families represent more than 70 % of the Ephemeroptera order diversity. Most of these reports of these families are found in the Amazonas department and the Andean region (Zuñiga et al. 2004; Dias et al. 2009; Salinas et al. 2012).

Despite the taxonomic and ecological importance of their Ephemeroptera communities (Bauernfeind and Moog 2000; Prat et al. 2009), regions like the Colombian Orinoquia have been among the least studied (Dias et al. 2009; Zúñiga and Torres-Zambrano 2015; Dias et al. 2016). At present, only four species had been reported for this region: Varipes lasiobrachius Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty, 1998, Coryphorus aquilusPeters, 1981, Miroculis (Atroari) colombiensis Savage & Peters, 1983 and Tricorythopsis rondoniensis (Dias, Cruz & Ferreira, 2009).

In order to extend the knowledge of Ephemeroptera fauna diversity and distribution in Colombia, the objective of this article is to report for the first time for the Colombian Orinoquia the species: Mayobaetis ellenae (Mayo, 1973), Hydrosmylon primanus (Eaton, 1892), Haplohyphes baritu Domínguez, 1984, Camelobaetidius edmundsi Dominique, Mathuriau & Thomas, 2001 and Nanomis galera Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty,1999.

Material and methods

The collection of Ephemeroptera was done in the Orotoy river (Meta), which has an altitude range between 1,620 and 240 masl and a riverbed length of 53 km. The upper and middle zones of the river have the qualities of a mountain river and the rest of the basin is described as an eastern cordillera piedmont river and low plain river (Caro et al. 2011). Hence, more areas of the stream prevail with rapids than backwaters. Most of the riverbed is composed of pebbles and a soft sandy clay substrate, with an average depth of 0.54 meters. The basin is covered in secondary vegetation and has characteristics of the plain foothill forest with a significant alteration of the longitudinal and transversal continuity because of the expansion of areas for the establishment of productive activities related to the tourism, livestock and the production of hydrocarbon, palm oil and, rice.

The collection was completed during a hydrological cycle between 2010 and 2011 with 17 sampling stations located along the river (Fig 1). Nymphs were collected with a 350 micron aquatic entomological net and fixed in 96 % ethanol. On the other hand, the variables physical and chemical were measured in situ: temperature, pH, conductivity and oxygen dissolved in the sampled sites. The species diagnosis was based on Domínguez et al. (2006) and Hoyos et al. (2014). The examined specimens were deposited in the University of Caldas Entomological Collection of the Biology Program, in Manizales, Colombia (CEBUC - Colección Entomológica del Programa de Biología de la Universidad de Caldas).

Comments

The analyzed nymphs were collected in Meta and were found widely distributed in the Andean region (Dias et al. 2009; Cruz et al. 2012; Salinas et al. 2012). The physicochemical variables of the Orotoy river habitat conditions were recorded with temperatures between 19.7 and 29.7 °C, pH ranges of 5.99 and 6.99, 6.03 to 8.62 mg/l O2 of dissolved oxygen, dissolved solids between 5 and 23 mg/l and low conductivity levels (between 9.23 and 17.7 µS/cm).

Material examined

5 nymphs. COLOMBIA. Meta: Acacías, E1 - Vereda El Recreo, 3°57’18.8”N, 73°50’44.4”W, 919 m, 06/02/2011; E2 - Vereda San Juanito, 3°56’14.5”N, 73°48’51,85”W, 692m, 11/04/2011; Guamal, E3 - Vereda Monserrate, 3°56’8.3”N, 73°48’42.2”W, 651m, 06/02/2011.

Comments

M. ellenae can be found near waterfalls and on rocks (it extends from769 to 2810 m of altitude). It was described originally by Mayo (1973) as Baetis ellenae. Lugo-Ortiz and McCafferty (1996) designated it as generic Mayobaetis sp. and Nieto (Domínguez et al. 2006) complemented the diagnosis of the species. This genus has a wide distribution in Colombia (Dias et al. 2009; Salinas et al. 2012). The Orotoy river habitat conditions where the species was reported are characterized by the presence of rapids, a 3-9 meters wide wet riverbed, an average depth of 0.37 meters and a discharge of 0.2 to 0.7 m3/s when the sampling was performed (low waters and transition to high waters). The riverbed is formed by metamorphic rock that covers between 30 and 40 % of the surface. The variables recorded fluctuate between 21.6 and 22.5 °C, 23 to 12.5 mg/l dissolved solids, 6.6 to 6.2 pH, high levels of dissolved oxygen (8.8 mg/l O2) and low conductivity levels (21 to 15 µS/cm).

Comments

The nymphs were collected in a rapid zone where the riverbed is formed by metamorphic rock with an average depth of 0.32 meters. The water temperature for the sampling period was of 20.4 °C, pH of 6.47, dissolved oxygen of 9.05 mg/l O2, 23 mg/l of dissolved solids and 21.67 µS/cm of conductivity. This species has been reported in an altitudinal range of 1315 to 2485 masl (Gutiérrez & Dias 2015), the Orotoy river is located at 919 masl.

Material examined

3 nymphs. COLOMBIA. Meta: Acacías, E13 - Vereda Patio Bonito, 3°52’32.7”N, 73°33’42.5”W, 341m, 10/12/2010; E17 - Vereda Dinamarca, 3°51’16.3”N, 73°27’39.4”W, 277m, 10/12/2010.

Comments

The nymphs can be found in rocky substrate. H. primanus was recorded for the first time in Colombia in the Department of Tolima (Salinas et al. 2013) at 479 masl an altitude similar to the one registered in some streams in Costa Rica (470 m). However, in the Orotoy river H. primanus was registered at lower altitudes. The nymphs were collected only in the low water period in an area where the Orotoy river physical conditions are characterized for a wet riverbed of 24 to 33 meters, with an average depth of 0.6 meters and a discharge of 2.05 m3/s in the time of sampling.

Comments

Hoyos et al. (2014) recorded H. baritu for the first time in Colombia in the three mountains that constitute the Colombian Andes. In the Orotoy basin it is only distributed in the low zone with altitude between 325 and 249 m (Caro et al. 2011).

Previous distribution

Conclusion

The Orinoquia is one of the regions of greatest water wealth of Colombia; however, in spite of this, few studies of aquatic communities and, especially, insects exist. With the reports in the present article, the number of known species in this region increased from four to nine. Hence, it contributed to knowledge of the order Ephemeroptera for the Meta department and the Orinoquia region, and expanded the known distribution of the species in Colombia.
