Abstract
A new genus of the family Baetidae, Rheobaetis, from Georgia is established and 3 new species are described. The type-species, Rheobaetis petersi n. sp., is described from reared nymphs and imagos. R. traverae n. sp. is described from nymphs and imagos collected at the same locality and date. R. berneri n. sp. is described from the nymphs only. Illustrated keys to the nymphs and imagos and notes on the ecology of the species are given.
