Hetaerina

description: Hetaerina Selys, 1853
Most species of Hetaerina have a red patch in the base of the wings and some have a small red or brown spot at the tips of the wings (Fig. 9). Nine of the 37 known species occur in Ecuador. They inhabit small to medium-sized streams, usually in partly to heavily forested areas; nymphs of five species have been described. The most recent revision was by Garrison (1990).
Hetaerina caja (Drury, 1773).
