Plesiomorphy of Hexagenia/fg3. Imaginal and subimaginal gonostylus with 2 distal segments (unlike Pseudeatonica and some of Eatonica/fg1). Only in selected specimens of Hexagenia/fg3 distal segments of gonostyli are separated indistinctly or fused one with another.

Size. Fore wing length 10–25 mm.

Distribution. Nearctic; probably also Palaeogene of Palaearctic (see Denina in Ephemera/fg9 INCERTAE SEDIS).
