3 Mayfly Specimens in the Genus Penelomax:
Penelomax septentrionalis Mayfly Dun
View 10 PicturesI'm pretty sure this dun belongs to septentrionalis, because her legs are just too long for invaria. I know that species is in this system because I collected several nymphs some miles downstream.
This really pretty mayfly was in kind of bad shape when I found it crippled on the surface, and bouncing around in my container with a bunch of green drakes didn't help.

Penelomax septentrionalis Mayfly Nymph
View 12 PicturesThis is surely the most distinctive-looking species of Ephemerella nymph. I like the rugged, spindly look. If mayflies made movies, Ephemerella septentrionalis would probably play the supervillain.
Maybe I should take a break and get something to eat.

I found about one sentence on these in Gonzo's book, and haven't seen them mentioned anywhere else in fly fishing literature. Nor is any of the scientific literature I have on them particularly interesting (just descriptions). Now that I've collected a few and see what unique-looking nymphs they've got, I'm really curious about them.
