Autapomorphies of Leptohyphes/fg2.

(1) Costal flap of ventral lobe of gill operculum [see Leptohyphes/fg1 (1)] is reduced to a spine-like process reaching base of the next tergalius only (Kluge 2004: Fig.101:D–E).

(2) In imago and subimago [shortly-moulting – see Tricoryptera (7)] lateropostnotal crest is either lost, or sharply curved toward anterior margin of lateropostnotum (Kluge 2004: Fig.102:B). In other Ephemerella/fg1 lateropostnotal crest is more straight and looks as a continuation of infrascutellar-lateropostnotal arm (Kluge 2004: Fig.97:D, 104:B).

Plesiomorphies of Leptohyphes/fg2. Unlike Allenhyphes and Tricorythodes, ventral lobe of tergalii III-V retains processes in a form of one or several lamellae arising ventrally near base [see Leptohyphes/fg1 (1)] (Kluge 2004: Fig.101:F–H). Unlike Haplohyphes, mouth apparatus is non-specialized, maxilla [see Ephemerella/fg1 (16)] with 3 canines and 2 dentisetae [see Bidentiseta (1)] (Kluge 1992c: Fig.2).

In imago and subimago: Scuto-lateropostnotal muscle of metathorax is not so large as in Tricorythodes [while transverse interscutal suture is present – see Leptohyphes/fg1 (4)]; correspondingly, posterior scutal protuberances do not convergent posteriorly (can be divergent or parallel – Kluge 2004: Fig.102:A), lateropostnotum [see (2)] is not fused with epimeron, and is separated by epimeron from coxal conjunctiva (Kluge 2004: Fig.102:B). Lateroparapsidal suture somewhat retains curvation initial for Ephemerella/fg1 [see Leptohyphes/fg1 (4)], merging with transverse interscutal suture laterad of medioparapsidal suture (Kluge 2004: Fig.102:A). Hind wings [of peculiar structure – see Leptohyphes/fg1 (2)] are present at least in male; in female they are either present, or lost; metathoracic wing muscles S.ESm and MTm are retained even in female which have no hind wings (Kluge 2004: Fig.102:C–D). 1st tarsal segment is short and fused with tibia. Gonostylus is 3-segmented, i.e. with distal segment [short – see Pantricorythi (2)] distinguishable at least in imago.

Size. Fore wing length 4–8 mm (see Tricoryptera).

Distribution. Neotropical and south of Nearctic Regions.
