Simon amber collection at the Museum für Naturkunde, Humboldt University, Berlin is redescribed and illustrated. Baltameletus Demoulin, 1968 can be attributed to the family Ameletidae McCafferty, 1991 by a combinationof following characteristics: (1) lateroparapsidal suture of mesothorax relatively elongate; (2) epimeron of mesothorax with membranous area between anepimeron andkatepimeron; (3) mesonotal suture stretched backward medially and anterior paracoxalsuture complete; (4) furcasternal protuberances contiguous; (5) hind wings well developed with RS, MA and MP triads; (6) tarsi 5-segmented with first tarsal segment fused with tibia; (7) forceps with two distal segments; (8) all tarsal claws dissimilar. This fossil genus clearly differs from all other representatives of the family Ameletidae by the following combinationof characteristics: (1) unpaired projection of the vertex; (2) dorsally contiguous compound eyes (3); 2–3 mainly simple veins stretching from CuA to basitornal margin of forewing. Additionally, some data on the fossil representatives of Ameletidae are given.}, title={Fossil mayfly collections of the Museum für Naturkunde, Humboldt University, Berlin. 2, Redescription of Baltameletus oligocaenicus Demoulin, 1968 with notes on Ameletidae McCafferty, 1991 (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) from the Eocene Baltic amber}, type={Text}, volume={58}, number={1}, journal={Annales Zoologici}, publisher={Natura optima dux Foundation}, keywords={Ephemeroptera, Ameletidae, Ameletus, Electroletus, Metreletus, Eocene, Baltic amber}, }
