Characters of Heptagenia/f8=g7 of unclear phylogenetic status. 

(1) Superlingua [curved laterally – see Heptagenia/f5=g4 (1)] on its lateral margin with a subapical incision and a convexity proximad of it (Kluge 2004: Fig.55:F); by its form differs from any other taxon among Heptagenia/f5=g4.

(2) Each glossa [initially pyramidal – see Radulapalpata (1)] is narrow, curved, in its distal half flattened, as dorsal ridge is approximated to median edge (Kluge 2004: Fig.55:D-E). The same in Stenonema/fg1; probably synapomorphy.

(3) In imago and subimago 1st tarsal segment is shortened, on fore tarsus of male several times shorter than 2nd segment.

Non-unique apomorphy (see Index of characters [2.2.76]); among Pentamerotarsata the same in Dacnogenia and Raptoheptagenia, in selected species of Kageronia and Stenonema/fg1, in some Ecdyonurus/fg1 and Rhithrogena/fg3.

Plesiomorphy of Heptagenia/f8=g7. Unlike Dacnogenia, hypopharynx is not shortened, has the same length as superlinguae [see (1)] (Kluge 2004: Fig.55:F).

Variable characters of Heptagenia/f8=g7. Tergalii [see Branchitergaliae (3)] are usually non-modified: usually all tergalii I–VII with fibrillose lobe (only on maxillaris [T.] tergalius VII lacks fibrillose lobe); anal and costal ribs are either located on anal and costal margins, or lost.

Size. Fore wing length 7–15 mm.

Distribution. Holarctic and Oriental Region.
