This male was collected at the same time as this female and is likely the same species.

It keys pretty clearly to Rhithrogena undulata using the key in Traver 1935, although the size is larger than expected for that species in that source.

This mayfly was collected from the Madison River on July 1st, 2019 and added to Troutnut.com on July 18th, 2019.
