Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The horned Australian burrowing mayfly genus <italic>Jappa</italic> Harker (Leptophlebiidae) is revised based on adult and larval material collected throughout Australia. Five named species [<italic>J. campbelli</italic> Bae &amp; Finlay, <italic>J. edmundsi</italic> Skedros &amp; Polhemus, <italic>J. furcifera</italic> (Eaton), <italic>J. serrata</italic> Skedros &amp; Polhemus and <italic>J. strigata</italic> (Eaton 1871) (= <italic>J. bicornis</italic> Ulmer 1916; = <italic>J. kutera</italic> Harker 1954, syn. n.)] are recognised, and two new species [<italic>J. harkerae</italic> n. sp. and <italic>J. suteri</italic> n. sp.] are described. Descriptions, diagnoses, line‐drawings and images of key characters, distributional information, taxonomic remarks and keys to adults and larvae are provided. The species <italic>Jappa tristis</italic> Harker 1954 is transferred to the genus <italic>Tillyardophlebia</italic> Dean.</p> </abstract>
