Abstract
Intersexes of Ameletus lineatus Traver, Baetis tricaudatus Dodds, and Paraleptophlebia moerens (McDunnough) are described. All specimens are masculinized females. The B. tricaudatus and P. moerens specimens have typical female features with male-like eyes. The A. lineatus intersex has a relatively large number of male-like characters and a greater degree of maleness of these characters. The latter species is also parthenogenetic.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
