Thorax. Coloration pale brown with indistinct darker patterns. Surface of pronotum with 2 pairs of oblique stripes (Fig. 30). Posterior margin of metanotum with a finger-like protuberance medially (Fig. 29). Hind wing pads reduced, approximately 2.5 &#x2013;3.0 times longer than wide (Fig. 22). Thoracic sterna usually with a conical protuberance near inner side of each coxa (cf. Fig. 50).

Femora with a row of long, robust and simple bristles on dorsal margin (Fig. 23), femoral villopore present; tibiae with irregular row of dense, fine, simple setae dorsally; tarsi with a row of sparse, fine, simple setae dorsally and a row of 7&#x2013;8 robust, pointed setae ventrally increasing in length towards apex; tarsal claw with a row of 6&#x2013;7 denticles and a pair of bowed subapical bristles (Fig. 24). All legs lack coxal gills. Abdomen. Generally yellowish-brown. Abdominal terga I&#x2013;IX light brown each with a pair of dark brown elongate-oblique medioanterior sigilla (cf. Kluge &amp; Novikova 2011), terga VII&#x2013;IX each with a pair of dark brown roundish medioposterior sigilla, and tergum X with pair of longitudinal brown stripes near median line (Fig. 29). Mediodorsal posterior margin of terga I&#x2013;VI each with a single protuberance which successively decreasing in length backwards (Figs 25, 28, 29); terga surface scattered with round scale-like and fine setae, posterior margin with blunt denticles. Abdominal sterna generally yellowish-white, each with a pair of friction pads on anterolateral area; posterior margins of sterna I&#x2013;VII smooth without any denticles or scale-like setae, but sterna VIII&#x2013;IX with blunt denticles (Fig. 26). Gills on segments I&#x2013;VII, oval and without tracheation, surface scattered with numerous pores, margin smooth with fine simple setae, coloration white or reddish depending on the type of habitats. Paraproct with numerous pores and fine short setae medially and 14&#x2013;18 serrations on inner margin. Median caudal filament with 3&#x2013;5 segments (Fig. 27), each segment of cerci on inner margin with 2&#x2013;5 swimming bristles (increasing in number towards apex). Imago. Unknown. Etymology. The specific epithet, &#x201C; sexta &#x201D; (feminine), is from the Latin adjective, sextus, meaning sixth, in reference to the posteromedial margin on terga having a single protuberance from the first tergum to the sixth tergum. Distribution. China (Hubei, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou). Comments. Baetiella sexta n. sp. is most similar to B. lanpingensis n. sp. by sharing the posteromedian margin on terga I&#x2013;VI each with a single dorsal protuberance, but it can be readily distinguished from the latter by the following combination of characteristics: (1) dorsal surface of scape and pedicel scatter with fine setae and without scale-like setae; (2) 2 nd segment of labial palpus with an apparent inner-apical lobe; (3) posterior margins of sterna I&#x2013;VII smooth without any spines or scale-like setae; (4) median caudal filament 3&#x2013;5 segments.</description><description>Published as part of Shi, Weifang &amp; Tong, Xiaoli, 2015, Taxonomic notes on the genus Baetiella U&#xE9;no from China, with the descriptions of three new species (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae), pp. 553-569 in Zootaxa 4012 (3) on pages 559-561, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4012.3.9, http://zenodo.org/record/253698</description><identifier>https://zenodo.org/record/6109357</identifier><identifier>10.5281/zenodo.6109357</identifier><identifier>oai:zenodo.org:6109357</identifier><relation>info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/url/http://treatment.plazi.org/id/E3650E5CFFB4C35FFF0E2ED9FAF9D4AD</relation><relation>doi:10.11646/zootaxa.4012.3.9</relation><relation>url:http://zenodo.org/record/253698</relation><relation>url:http://publication.plazi.org/id/1F5C7624FFB2C357FF992E4EFFFFD10C</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.253700</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.253701</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.253704</relation><relation>url:http://zoobank.org/45CEB0B9-C7D2-4C1D-B399-3332D2F0CC5F</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.6109356</relation><relation>url:https://zenodo.org/communities/biosyslit</relation><rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</rights><rights>https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode</rights><source>Taxonomic notes on the genus Baetiella U&#xE9;no from China, with the descriptions of three new species (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae), pp. 553-569 in Zootaxa 4012(3) 559-561</source><subject>Biodiversity</subject><subject>Taxonomy</subject><subject>Animalia</subject><subject>Arthropoda</subject><subject>Insecta</subject><subject>Ephemeroptera</subject><subject>Baetidae</subject><subject>Baetiella</subject><subject>Baetiella sexta</subject><title>Baetiella sexta Shi &amp; Tong, 2015, n. sp.</title><type>Other:info:eu-repo/semantics/other</type><type>Other:publication-taxonomictreatment</type><recordID>6109357</recordID></dc>
