Does any one know if this mayfly is found outside of New Zealand? In particular, is it found in the streams of Hokkaido Japan?

Thanks in advance,
John

Based on the Checklist of Japanese Mayflies which Konchu located, the only Oligoneuriid found in Japan is Oligoneuriella rhenana, and it is apparently only found on the island of Honshu.

Taxon and Konchu,
Thank you for your help! Ephemeroptera Galactica - WOW, what a great resource!

Japanese Mayfly Distribution should be a bit easier to use than the .pdf in case you should be curious about the distribution of any more Japanese mayfly species.

Double WOW! and thanks.
