Autapomorphies of Hexagenites/fg1.

(1) On fore wing CuA bifurcates to CuA1 and CuA2 (non-unique character – see Index of characters [2.2.50]), from the bifurcation a vein iCu arises, which forms several (3–5) triads following one another: anterior branch of each triad forms next triad; each of these triads has anterior branch arched by its convexity anteriorly; all branches of these triads go to basitornal margin of wing. Unique apomorphy.

(2) Fore and hind wings with more or less expressed vein gemination: at least there are pairs of veins brought together: RSp+MA1, iMA+MA2, MP2+CuA; MP1 and iMP are more or less approximated to iMA+MA2. Non-unique apomorphy (see Index of characters [2.2.28]).

(3) Tergalius VII is enlarged, distinctly longer than others, while tergalii I-VI have subequal length (unique apomorphy). On all tergalii at least costal rib is thickened and anal rib is situated at a distance from anal margin (as in some other mayflies – see Index of characters [1.3.28]).

Plesiomorphies of Hexagenites/fg1. Larva has siphlonuroid appearance, with dense primary swimming setae on caudalii.

Size. Fore wing length 16–42 mm.

Age. Late Jurassic – Late Cretaceous (Europe, Asia, South America).
