Peters (1971) 讨论了新西兰奥克兰群岛的蜉蝣目动物群，他描述了这些岛屿上唯一已知的蜉蝣种类，Atalophlebioides auck-landensis。他还报告了收藏家 JL Gressitt 和 KA J. Wise 对这些蜉蝣成群飞行的观察结果。 McDowall (1978) 随后报告了奥克兰群岛出现了不会飞的蜉蝣目，Nelson 和 Platnick (1978) 也引用了该报告。由于之前已知的奥克兰群岛唯一的蜉蝣确实被观察到会飞，所以自然会出现关于所引用的不会飞的蜉蝣目的起源问题。一种假设立即显现出来。不会飞的蜉蝣目已知于奥克兰群岛（参见 Illies, 1974），麦克道尔报道的不会飞的蜉蝣目显然是由臭名昭著的诱变剂——蛉蛉引起的跳跃式宏观进化而产生的。博士的个人通讯
The Ephemeroptera fauna of the Auck-land Islands of New Zealand was discussed by Peters (1971) who described the only known species of mayfly from those islands, Atalophlebioides auck-landensis. He also reported observations by the collectors, JL Gressitt and KA J. Wise, on the swarming flight of these mayflies. McDowall (1978) subsequently reported the occurrence of flightless Ephemeroptera from the Auckland Islands, a report also quoted by Nelson and Platnick (1978).As the only mayflies previously known from the Auckland Islands have definite-ly been observed to fly, the question naturally arises as to the origin of the flightless Ephemeroptera cited. One hypothesis manifests itself immediately. Flightless Plecoptera are known from the Auckland Islands (cf. Illies, 1974), and the flightless Ephemeroptera reported by McDowall have apparently arisen from them by saltatorial macroevolution caused by the infamous mutagen, the lapsus calami.
