Leptophlebiidae is a family belonging to the Ephemeropterans that are commonly known as the prong-gilled mayflies or leptophlebiids. It is the only family in the superfamily Leptophlebioidea.[1] There are around 131 genera and 640 described species.[2] Leptophlebiids are easily recognized by the forked gills present on the larvae's abdomen, thus their common name.
