Lloyd Gonzales:
"The long antennae and short (intact) center 'tail' indicate that this is probably a baetid. Ameletids and siphlonurids typically have short antennae and roughly subequal 'tails'."

Looks like Ameletus
Based on gill structure though that far south there may be other genera that I'm unaware of. Is this a cleared specimen on a microscope slide?

Exact size
My friend asked me for help identifying this, and threw away the specimen when he was done with it. Long story short, I can't get the exact length.

that's one clever protocol
throw away specimen; proceed with identification
