Description
Baetis montana F.-J. Pictet, 1843
Baetis montana F.-J. Pictet, 1843 -1845: 172-173, pl. 20, fig. 3.
Heptagenia montana. – Eaton, 1871: 154 (transfer).
Heptagenia montana. – Eaton, 1888: 302 (species of uncertain generic placement).
Accepted name: Baetis montana F.-J. Pictet, 1843 nom. dub.
Locus typicus: “… petit ruisseau qui descend du Brévent au-dessus de Chamounix”.
Type material: Holotype [by monotypy], male imago?, not in MHNG.
Remarks: F.-J. Pictet gave a very brief description of this alpine species. Eaton (1888) was unable to place it with certainty among the Heptageniidae. No original material of this taxon could be traced. In the MHNG there is one female imago with the following label data “620 Burgdorf 48 coll. Pictet / Baetis montana P. Bgdf 9 Juni”, obviously a specimen collected and identified by Meyer-Dür and most probably belonging to the so called Ecdyonurus helveticus species-group. The name Baetis montana F.-J. Pictet, 1843 should be considered a nomen dubium (see also Haybach, 2010).
