Autapomorphies of Eatonigenia.

(1) On larval fore leg [burrowing – see Fossoriae (1)] claw is vestigial, completely dipped into an incision on apex of tibia (McCafferty 1973: Fig.23–24). Unique apomorphy.

(2) Penis lobes are fused all along their length and have a characteristic shape – trapezoid, widened apically, with gonopores located on a pair of small ventral projections in proximal-median part (McCafferty 1973: Fig.9–12).

Character of Eatonigenia of unclear phylogenetic status. 

(3) Imaginal and subimaginal gonostylus with 1 distal segment only (instead of two initial ones). Non-unique apomorphy (see Index of characters [2.3.12]); among Ephemera/fg9 the same in Eatonica/g2 (possibly synapomorphy) and Pseudeatonica.

Plesiomorphy of Eatonigenia. Vestige of tergalius I [see Ephemera/fg9 (4)] is bilamellate (unlike Litobrancha).

Size. Fore wing length 10–17 mm. 

Distribution. Oriental Region.
