A new subspecies, Ecdyonurus austriacus nataliae ssp. n., belongingto the helveticus-group, is described and illustrated at all stages (imagines, subimagines,
nymphs and eggs) from material collected in the Gorgany Mts. in the Eastern Carpathians,
Ukraine. The new subspecies is closely related to Ecdyonurus austriacus austriacus
Kimmins. Its affinities, distribution and ecology are discussed.Key words: entomology, taxonomy, Ephemeroptera, Heptageniidae, new subspecies,nymph, imago and subimago, egg, distribution, ecology, Eastem Carpathians,
Ukraine.INTRODUCTIONSpecies of the Ecdyonurus helveticus-group are characterized by the lack oflong and dense setae on the distal part of larval hypopharynx, and by the presence
of a laterally elongated apical sclerite of the penis lobes of imago (HEFTI & TOMKA1986, STUDEMANN et al. 1992). Some taxonomical revisions and descriptions ofnew species from the E. helveticus-group were published (KIMMINS 1958, BOGOESCU& TABACARU 1962, JACOB & BRAASCH 1984, HEFTI et al. 1986, 1989, 1991,BELFIORE & BUFFAGNI 1994, BAUERNFEIND 1997). The Central European fauna ofthe E. helveticus-group includes 12 taxa (HEFTI et al. 1989). Five species knownfrom literature are found in the Ukrainian Carpathians. Ecdyonurus subalpinus
(KLAPÁLEK, 1907) from the Gorgany Mts. was described by KLAPÁLEK (1907). In14ROMAN J. GODUNKO, MA£GORZATA K£ONOWSKA-OLEJNIKthe same paper, KLAPÁLEK cited Ecdyonurus helveticus (EATON, 1885) from theChornogora Mts. Ecdyonurus picteti (MEYER-DüR, 1864) from the Chornogoramountain range was described as Heptagenia nigrescens (DZIÊDZIELEWICZ &KLAPÁLEK 1908a, 1908b) and as Ecdyonurus nigrescens (MIKULSKI 1936). Somedata about the distribution of species of the E. helveticus-group in the Ukrainian
Carpathians were also presented by DZIÊDZIELEWICZ (1907, 1919), MIKULSKI (1935),PAW£OWSKI (1959), GODUÑKO (1997, 1999), and GODUNKO (1998). Recently, a newsubspecies belonging to the E. helveticus-group from the Gorgany Mts. in the
Eastern Carpathians, Ukraine has been found and described.Ecdyonurus austriacus nataliae n. ssp.ETYMOLOGYThe new subspecies is named in honor of NATALIA O.

2) lateral expansion of larval abdominal segments short and directed in parallel to
the axis of the body; 3) apical sclerite of the penis lobes of imago laterally
elongated; 4) lateral part of the adult terga with a characteristic pattern.
E. austriacus nataliae is closely related to Ecdyonurus austriacus austriacus
KIMMINS, 1958 especially in adult stages. Genitalia of male imagines of E. austriacusnataliae partly resemble E. austriacus austriacus but can be distinguished by: 1)
inner margin of apical sclerite with one (sometimes with two) strong stout tooth
directed towards the center of the lobe and with some small submarginal teeth; 2)
lateral sclerite softly rounded in the internal part; 3) penis lobes are less stretched
laterally; 4) the color and size of body and wings. The combination of these
characteristics clearly distinguishes E. austriacus nataliae from all the East
European species of the E. helveticus-group. E. carpathicus SOWA, 1973 andE. subalpinus are both separable from E. austriacus nataliae because of the
following characteristics: 1) penis lobes are more stretched laterally with more
spherical outline; 2) the lateral sclerite is relatively slender with a deep narrowing22ROMAN J. GODUNKO, MA£GORZATA K£ONOWSKA-OLEJNIKin the external part (SOWA 1973, HEFTI et al. 1989). The shape of basal sclerite ofthe penis lobes distinguishes E. austriacus nataliae from E. picteti as the latter
species bears strong large teeth, projected perpendicularly to the axis of symmetry
of the penis lobes (HEFTI & TOMKA 1986, HEFTI et al. 1989). The lateral sclerite ofthe penis lobes of E. helveticus, in contrast to E. austriacus nataliae, is slender
with a deep narrowing in the external part (HEFTI et al. 1987).The male and female subimagines of E. austriacus nataliae resembleE. austriacus austriacus in terms of general body and wing color (KIMMINS 1958,HEFTI & TOMKA 1986), but is distinguished by: the size of the body and wings; andthe character of the sclerites of penis lobes in male subimago (similar to male
imago). The fore wings of E. austriacus nataliae present a distinct zigzag pattern.
Other species of the E. helveticus-group have no zigzag pattern on the fore wings
or, if it is visible (as in E. austriacus austriacus, E. helveticus, Ecdyonurus
parahelveticus HEFTI, TOMKA & ZURWERRA, 1986 and E. picteti) its color is notintensive. The wings coloration of a new subspecies is similar to that of the
specimens in populations of E. subalpinus KLAPÁLEK, 1907 from the CzechRepublic (SOLDÁN, personal communication). On the contrary, no such relation-ships have been observed in the E. subalpinus populations from the East
Carpathians.In the nymphal stages E. austriacus nataliae is easily distinguishable fromother species belonging to the E. helveticus-group. The tergo-abdominal spines of
larvae of E. austriacus nataliae are of the same type as E. austriacus austriacus,
E. parahelveticus, and Ecdyonurus alpinus HEFTI, TOMKA & ZURWERRA, 1987(HEFTI & TOMKA 1986, HEFTI et. al. 1986, 1987), i. e. large and apically rounded,but their shape and arrangement are very characteristic. Additionally, E. austriacus
nataliae differs from E. austriacus austriacus, E. parahelveticus and E. alpinus
by the number and shape of the teeth on the tarsal claws, the shape of the labrum,
hypopharynx and tergo-abdominal spines and by the drawing of the abdomen and
legs (HEFTI & TOMKA 1986, HEFTI et al. 1986, 1987, 1989). Eggs of E. austriacusnataliae are different from the other species of the E. helveticus-group. A study in
light microscopy showed that the most common chorionic organization is densely
granulated, and the granules are concentrated on both poles of the eggs (HEFTI &TOMKA 1986, HEFTI et al. 1986, 1987, 1989). It seems probable that this concentra-tion concerns KCTs attachment structures. In E. alpinus, E. austriacus austriacus,
E. helveticus and E. parahelveticus KCTs attachment structures are distinctly
concentrated at two poles of the eggs (HEFTI & TOMKA 1986, HEFTI et al. 1986,1987). KCTs in E. zelleri (EATON, 1885) egg poles are less frequent (HEFTI et al.1987). Only E. picteti has KCTs concentration at one pole of the egg (HEFTI &TOMKA 1986). Thus, E. austriacus nataliae with no concentration of KCTsattachment structure at the egg poles is easily distinguishable from previously
mentioned species.23ECDYONURUS AUSTRIACUS NATALIAE N. SSP.DISTRIBUTIONANDECOLOGYE. austriacus nataliae has been found in small mountain brooks and streamsbetween 700-1200 m a.s.l., 1-4 m width and 0.2-1.5 m depth, with cold water (in
summer ~10°C) and current velocity higher than 1 m/s. The bottom is covered
with boulders and cobbles, and the banks are high and shaded by subalpine forest.
The species occurs up to the timberline, the most frequently - between 800-900 m
a.s.l.. In these localities E. austriacus nataliae lives together with Ameletus
inopinatus EATON, Baetis alpinus (PICTET), B. melanonyx (PICTET), Rhithrogenairidina (KOLENATI), R. gorganica KLAPÁLEK, and E. subalpinus. E. austriacusnataliae is a univoltine winter species (Uw) with one generation per year (CLIFFORD1982). Population overwinters in the nymphal stage. The larvae occur gradually
and grow during the winter. The flying period extends from June to August-
September. E. austriacus nataliae has been found only in the Eastern Carpathians,
Gorgany Mts., Bystrytsya Nadvirnyans’ka river-basin (tributaries of the Dnister
river; two localities) and in the Prutets’ Yablons’kyi river-basin (tributaries of the
Prut river; one locality). MIKULSKI (1935), in his paper about the Ephemeropteraspecies of the Chornohora Mts., described and illustrated the larval abdomen of
“Ecdyonurus sp. larvae (subalpinus?)” and “Ecdyonurus sp. larva”. Some details
are similar to the drawing of the abdomen of E. austriacus nataliae (Figs. 1, 2, 4)
but other characteristics needed to determine this taxon are absent in MIKULSKI’sdescription. Moreover, at that time, E. austriacus nataliae was not found in the
Chornohora mountain range. Thus, E. austriacus nataliae seems to be an endemic
of the Eastern Carpathians.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSWe would like to express our sincere thanks to Prof. T. SOLDÁN for his helpand many valuable comments on the manuscript. M. PUTZ, M.
