DIAGNOSIS: Adults and nymphs have fingerlike thoracic gills, in addition to the submental gills ( Fig. 233) which many Perlodinae possess. The male hemitergal processes ( Fig. 279) are curved anteriorly, extending across tergite 9, and are longer than those in Arcynopteryx and Skwala . Males have a prominent epiproct with lateral stylets ( Fig. 279) which all other Mongolian Perlodinae lack. The female subgenital plate has a deep, narrow notch ( Fig. 280).
