The present work, based on material from northern, central-western, and northeastern Brazil, contributes to the knowledge of the two-winged Cloeodes Traver (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae) in South America. Two new species, C. maracatu, sp. nov. and C. spaceki, sp. nov., are described, the former based on nymphs and reared adults and the latter only on nymphs; the male and female imago of C. auwe and the female imago of C. redactus are described. Based on these findings, an updated key for South American nymphs and male adults of the two-winged Cloeodes is provided.
Introduction
The genus Cloeodes Traver (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae) is represented by approximately 35 species distributed in the Neotropical, Nearctic, Afrotropical, and Oriental regions (Traver 1938; Waltz and McCafferty 1994; Lugo-Ortiz et al. 1999; Soldán and Yang 2003; Jacobus et al. 2006). The genus is most diverse in the Neotropics, where 22 species have been described so far, including 20 from South America and six from the Antilles, Central America, and southern North America (Waltz and McCafferty 1987a, b; Kluge 1991; Hofman, Sartori, and Tomas 1999; Wiersema and Baumgardner 2000; Nieto and Richard 2008; Nieto and Emmerich 2011; Salles 2011).
All species of Cloeodes outside South America are two-winged (i.e., their hind wings or hind wings pads are absent), but this rule does not apply to South America. Of the 20 species known prior to this study, only six were two-winged: C. anduzei Traver, C. auwe Salles and Batista, C. barituensis Nieto and Richard, C. binocularis Needham and Murphy, C. redactus Waltz and McCaffety, and C. turbinops Needham and Murphy. Cloeodes anduzei, C. binocularis, and C. turbinops were described based only on male imagines, C. barituensis was described based on all stages, and C. auwe and C. redactus are known exclusively at the nymphal stage.
The present study, based on material from several localities in Brazil, contributes to the knowledge of the two-winged representatives of Cloeodes: two new species are described, one based on nymphs from central Brazil and the other based on nymphs and imagines from the Northeastern Region; the male and female imago of C. auwe and the female imago of C. redactus are described; furthermore, new diagnostic characteristics are presented for nymphs of both species. An updated taxonomic key for the South American species of this group is also proposed.
Material and Methods
Taxonomic descriptions and/or diagnoses presented herein were generated from a DELTA (Dallwitz 1980; Dallwitz et al. 1993) database of South American Baetidae genera and species under development (e.g., Salles 2010; Massariol and Salles 2011). The free program DIVA-GIS 5.2 ( http://www.diva-gis.org/) was used to make the distribution map of the species.
Photographs were taken using an OPTON Q719K-AC microscope with a TA-0124S digital camera, or a Leica M165C ( http://www.leica-microsystems.com/) stereomicroscope with a DFC420 digital camera. In the latter case, a series of stacked images were processed with the program Leica Application Suite version 3.4.1 to produce final images with enhanced depth of field. Line drawings were made with the aid of a camera lucida, and/or photographs were prepared according to Coleman (2003, 2006).
The material examined is deposited in the following institutions: Invertebrate Collection of the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA), Manaus, Brazil; Coleção Zoológica Norte Capixaba (CZNC), Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, São Mateus, Brazil; Coleção Entomológica Prof. José Alfredo Pinheiro Dutra (DZRJ), Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and Instituto Miguel Lillo (IML), Tucumán, Argentina.

Comments
Cloeodes auwe is a very unusual member of the genus; the nymphs are unique among South American Cloeodes in several characteristics, such as shape of the third segment of labial palp and tarsal claws size. The very long marginal intercalary veins of the adults readily distinguish it from other species of Cloeodes. Although adults were not obtained by rearing, they are considered conspecific based on the abdominal color pattern of a mature nymph (Figure 2) collected at the same place where the adult was found. The species is a relatively common member of the mayfly community in Amazonian streams. However, among the material examined there was a small immature nymph from the Espírito Santo State, Southeastern Brazil. Given the unexpected presence of this species outside the Amazonas Basin, and the small size of the single nymph from Espírito Santo, this nymph was tentatively identified as C. auwe.

Etymology
The specific epithet is an allusion to a popular musical style of Pernambuco State.
Comments
Nymphs of C. maracatu are somewhat similar to those of C. spaceki sp. nov., however they can be easily differentiated based on the shape of the third segment of the labial palp (rounded in C. maracatu, truncated in C. spaceki). The adults of C. maracatu, as those of C. barituensis, present a sexual dimorphism related to the presence of single (female) or double (male) marginal intercalary veins. The body color pattern, especially the thorax, readily distinguishes C. maracatu from C. barituensis.

Comments
The nymphs of C. redactus, like those of C. barituensis, lack spines on the posterior margin of tergum I. Among other characteristics, they can be differentiated based on abdominal color pattern (Figure 5, 6) and arrangement of spines on cerci. The female of C. redactus, described for the first time, is easily recognized by the presence of single marginal intercalary veins and color pattern (especially by the presence of anteromedian and posteromedian sigilla that are lighter than their background).
