Autapomorphies of Nesameletus/f2=Metamonius/g2. (1) Mandible [see Nesameletus/f1=Metamonius/g1 (1)] is elongate perpendicular to axis of articulation (Kluge 2004: Fig.31:D). (2) On maxilla 1st dentiseta is very massive, sclerotized, pressed to canines [shortened – see Nesameletus/f1=Metamonius/g1 (2)] (Kluge 2004: Fig.31:A-C). The same in selected taxa among Tetramerotarsata. (3) 2nd and 3rd dentisetae [situated on a common base – see Nesameletus/f1=Metamonius/g1 (3)] are weak, their common base represents a wide thin plate (Kluge 2004: Fig.31:A). (4) Larval claw on inner side has 2 longitudinal rows of small denticles. Non-unique apomorphy (see Index of characters [1.2.21]). (5) On each tergalius II–VII anal rib bifurcates near base, its anterior branch is situated on dorsal surface and passes near middle of tergalius [see Nesameletus/f1=Metamonius/g1 (9)], and posterior branch is situated on anal margin and represents a 3rd (additional) rib. Similar 3 ribs are present also in Rallidens and Isonychia/fg1. (6) Subimaginal lateral pigmented sclerotized area of mesonotum has peculiar form and includes whole anterior part of lateroscutum (Kluge 2004: Fig.30:D). The same in Ameletopsis/fg1. |
Size. Fore wing length 12–17 mm.
