Adnoptilum

Panephemeroptera Euephemeroptera Euplectoptera Anteritorna pm.Tridentiseta  
Tetramerotarsata Liberevenata Turbanoculata 
 pm.Protopatellata  Rhithrocloeon/fg1 Rhithrocloeon/fg2 - Adnoptilum

Nomen hierarchicum: Adnoptilum/g(1) [g:2010]

In circumscription fits:

— gen. Adnoptilum Gattolliat & Monaghan 2010

References. Gattolliat & Monaghan 2010:

Autapomorphies of Adnoptilum.

(1) Larval paracercus shortened, shorter than 2/3 of length of cerci (unlike other Rhithrocloeon/fg2, whose larval paracercus is equal to cerci). The same in many other Turbanoculata.

Characters of Adnoptilum of unclear phylogenetic status. 

(2) Hind wings absent; larva has no vestiges of hind protoptera (non-unique apomorphy – see Index of characters [2.2.59]). Among Rhithrocloeon/fg1, the same in Rhithrocloeon/fg3; Mutelocloeon has vestigial hind wings; possibly, synapomorphy.

Size. Fore wing length 4–5 mm (see Tetramerotarsata).

Distribution. Afrotropical Region.
