This study represents the Wrst molecular phylogeny for the Order Ephemeroptera. The analyses included 31 of the 37 families, representing »24% of the genera. Fifteen families were supported as being monophyletic, Wve families were supported as nonmonophyletic, and 11 families were only represented by one species, and monophyly was not testable. The suborders Furcatergalia and Carapacea were supported as monophyletic while Setisura and Pisciforma were not supported as monophyletic. The superfamilies Ephemerelloidea and Caenoidea were supported as monophyletic while Baetoidea, Siphlonuroidea, Ephemeroidea, and Heptagenioidea were not. Baetidae was recovered as sister to the remaining clades. The mayXy gill to wing …
