Abstract

 Identification keys are provided for larvae of 57 species of Baetidae from Australia for the genera Bungona (2 spp), Centroptilum (10 spp), Cloeon (7 spp), Offadens (32 spp), Platybaetis (1 sp), and Pseudocloeon (5 spp). Species concepts were formed by using a combination of morphological characters and nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences. The total number of Baetidae species in Australia isn't yet known as five species of Centroptilum and Cloeon known from adults have not yet been associated with larvae.
