Most likely, Ephemera compar is an extinct species of burrowing mayfly in the family Ephemeridae. It was found in North America.[1][2][3] Ephemera compar is known from a single specimen, collected from the "foothills of Colorado" in 1873, but despite intensive surveys of the Colorado mayflies reported in 1984, it has not been rediscovered.[4]
