Autapomorphy of Amurella. (1) Larval abdominal terga have unpaired median projections on posterior margin (Tshernova 1952: Fig.82). In other Ephemerella/fg2 abdominal terga either have paired submedian projections, or lack projections [see Ephemerella/fg1 (19)]; unpaired projections are present also in some Tricorythus/fg1 and some other Ephemeroptera (see Index of characters [1.3.3]). Plesiomorphies of Amurella. Unlike Teloganopsis and Hyrtanella/f2=Crinitella/g1, hind wing without prominent costal projection and with Sc terminating near apex (as in all other Ephemerella/fg2). Unlike Uracanthella, maxilla retains biting structure with well-developed canines. |
Size. Fore wing length 5–10 mm.
Distribution. East Palaearctic and Nearctic.
