(Panephemeroptera Euephemeroptera Euplectoptera Anteritorna Bidentiseta Furcatergaliae  
Fimbriatotergaliae Fossoriae Ephemera/fg9
Hexagenia/g1Ephemera/fg10 - Ephemera/fg11)

Nomen hierarchicum: Ephemera/fg11 [f:1810; g:1758] (sine Sinephemera, Afromera)

In circumscription fits:

Nominal taxon included: Nirvius/g [g:1922]


Reference. Kluge 2004: * * *


Autapomorphy of Ephemera/fg11.

(1) Penis has a pair of titillators of unique structure: each titillator arises ventrally near penis base and is directed distally, along membranous concavity of ventral penis surface; titillator represents a sclerotized lamella rolled forming a tube; thus, titillator looks as a smooth spine round in cross section; it is arched medially, with pointed apex (Kluge 2004: Fig.72:B). Larval protopenis has no any external titillator buds; subimaginal penis is identical to imaginal one, with just the same rolled titillators. In other Ephemera/fg10 penis also can have projections mediad of ventral sclerotized wall, but they are not rolled in such manner.

Plesiomorphies of Ephemera/fg11. Unlike Afromera, mesonotal suture is moderately stretched posteriorly, and subimaginal mesonotal cuticle has pigmented areas of characteristic shape [see Fimbriatotergaliae (2)]: pigmented microtrichia-bearing area anteriad of mesonotal suture occupies only a part of submedioscutum and is rounded posteriorly.

Size. Fore wing length 8–20 mm.

Distribution. Holarctic, Oriental and Afrotropical Regions; dominate in eastern Asia.
