Resumen:
Mayflies comprise a small order of insects, with approximately 3500 species, 450 genera, and 42 families (numbers updated based on Sartori & Brittain, 2015). The Neotropicalrealm, even with a relatively few families (16) is the most diverse in terms of genera and species (130 and 820, respectively). These numbers, however, increased exponentiallyin the last 10 years (Domı´nguez et al., 2014; Cardoso et al., 2015) and many species and probably some genera remain to be described. Cardoso et al. (2015), for example, predicted more than 11,000 species to occur Brazil alone, although their predictive model is possiblybiased by the recent increase in species descriptions. Da-Silva & Salles (2012), on the other hand, estimated 600 undescribed species for the same country, while Sartori & Brittain (2015) estimate 1,000 undescribed species worldwide.
