Abstract

A key to ephemeropteran nymphs belonging to 8 families, 30 genera and 48 species from the Palni and Cardamom hills of the Western Ghats in Kerala and Tamil Nadu states is presented in this chapter. Sampling was done at 30 sites. Baetidae and Leptophlebiidae diversity was higher compared to Ephemeridae and Ephemerellidae. Mayflies endemic to the Palni and Cardamom hills include Ephemera (Aethephemera) nadinae, Klugephlebia kodai and Indoganodes jobini. This work serves as a taxonomic primer for doing further research on mayfly taxonomy, biology, biogeography and ecology and it will also aid Bio monitoring programs.
