Pictures of 1 Mayfly Specimen in the Species Nixe inconspicua:

Male Nixe inconspicua Mayfly DunMale Nixe inconspicua Mayfly Dun View 13 PicturesThis pretty little dun was part of a sparse midsummer evening hatch on a large Catskill river.

I could not identify it by following a species key step by step, but I tentatively keyed it to the genus Nixe, and based on distribution maps and physical descriptions the most likely species is Nixe inconspicua.
Collected July 13, 2005 from the East Branch of the Delaware River in New York
