Fore wing length (and approximate body length) of subimagos, male and female imagos ca. 5 mm. <b>Etymology.</b> Refering to the fact that the specimens were collected just behind the campus of Cenderawasih University (UNCEN) in Jayapura. <b>Distribution.</b> Indonesia: Papua Province (Fig. 7). <b>Biological aspects.</b> The specimens were collected at an altitude of 160 m in a medium sized, shallow, moderately flowing river with stones and mud on the bottom, with few vegetation (Fig. 8). The new species was collected together with 12 other mayfly species: four other, yet undescribed species of <i>Labiobaetis</i> Novikova &amp; Kluge, 1987; <i>Mystaxiops venatoris</i> McCafferty &amp; Sun, 2005; two species of <i>Papuanatula</i> LugoJOrtiz &amp; McCafferty, 1999; two species of <i>Centroptella</i> Braasch &amp; Soldán, 1980; one <i>Cloeon</i> sp.; one <i>Caenis</i> sp. and <i>Nonnullidens reductus</i> Kluge, 2013. <b>TypeJmaterial.
