The sharply pointed costal projection and single longitudinal vein in the hind wing probably narrow it to a single species. Unfortunately, none of the Baetidae hind wing illustrations to which I have access show either that sharply pointed of a projection or the single longitudinal vein, let alone in combination with one another. | |
