Comment to the character 9. In the original publication, there is written that among Nigrobaetis, face is flat in Neotropical species only. Under Neotropical species, we understood species recently placed to Fallceon and Caribaetis, which were known to us as larvae from Cuba; frons of Fallceon has longitudinal keel, while frons of Caribaetis is flat. At that time these taxa had not been described, imagoes were not associated with larvae, and we regarded them to be representatives of Nigrobaetis. Later I reared imagoes from larvae and separated Fallceon and Caribaetis from Nigrobaetis, based on shape of hind wing (Kluge 1992:13-20 and Kluge 1992:13-20). According to the recent classification, Nigrobaetis does not occur in Neotropics, and all its species have frontal keel.

At the same year there were issued two papers by Waltz & McCafferty, where they added one more important character – presence of villopore on larval femur: in Baetis s.str., Baetiella and Acentrella it is always present, in Nigrobaetis (= Diphetor) it is always absent; in Labiobaetis villopore is either absent, or poorly expressed (see characteristics of Baetifemorata).
