The Nerthra alaticollis species-group is defined as a monophyletic group on the basis of wing and genitalic characters. Two new species are described: Nerthra appha n. sp. and N. polhemi n.sp. Nerthra membranacea Nieser is recognized as a junior synonym of N. adspersa. Nerthra tuberculata (Montandon) and N. praecipua Todd are removed from the alaticollis species-group. Nine species are assigned to the species-group, and all species are described with illustrations. A phylogeny of species is provided.
A total of 173 species of mayflies, representing 15 families and 45 genera, are reported from the state of New York. First state records for 43 species and 891 new county reports for 129 species are included. Previously published reports are summarized, and pertinent remarks on species are annotated. The occurrence of Dannella provonshai, Heptagenia julia, and Plauditus gloveri in New York represent significant range extensions. The discovery of Epeorus frisoni in New York represents only the second report of the species. Species potentially of environmental concern are noted.

A new Mexican species of Ceraspis Serville from Oaxaca state is described and illustrated. A key to the known Mexican species of this genus is included.
The genera Praocidia Fairmaire and Pilobaloderes Kulzer (Pimeliinae: Praocini), distributed in the Andes of northern Peru, are revised. Both genera are transferred from the Nycteliini to Praocini on the basis of new tribal level characters. Character states of Praocidia and Pilobaloderes shared with the other genera of Praocini and not shared with genera of Nycteliini are discussed. Redescriptions of the genera, their three species, keys, habitus photographs and illustrations of body and male genitalia are included.
