Abstract
The nymph of Secochela illiesi, the only species presently known in the genus, is described. The characters that distinguish the nymph of Secochela from other genera of Leptophlebiidae are discussed. The nymph shares the derived characters that define the Meridialaris lineage, which includes genera from South America, Australia, and New Zealand.
