Taeniopteryx

DIAGNOSIS: The male epiproct is short ( Fig. 374) and nearly round from the dorsal view. Sternum 10 of the male is visible from the dorsal aspect, but not extending around the genitalia and cerci as in Taenionema . The male has a ventral vesicle ( Fig. 375) which Taenionema lacks. Cerci of the male are composed of a single enlarged segment which nearly touches the epiproct ( Fig. 374). The female subgenital plate is barely produced and broadly rounded ( Fig. 376). Nymphs of the genus are characterized by the presence of coxal gills and dorsal abdominal processes, but lack the plate-like, triangular 9th sternum typical of many Taeniopterygidae .
