e Basal segment of the male hind tarsus longer than the third 



segment Rhithrogena 



ee Basal segment of the male hind tarsus shorter than the third 



segment Heptagenia 



bh Hind tarsi usually with but four freely movable segments, the basal 

 segment being more or less completely consolidated with the 

 tibia ; eyes of the male enlarged, often approximated on the dorsal 

 side and divided into superior and lateral portions with corneal 

 facets of different size; venation various, sometimes greatly re- 

 duced ; intercalary veins between the first and second anal never 



as in 6 above Baetinae 



c The three anal veins nearly parallel to the hind margin of the wing 

 and to each other, ending in the outer margin ; in the hind wing 

 the branches of the radial vein are strongly unilateral on the an- 

 terior side Baetisca 



cc Anal veins strongly divergent distally, usually both the second and 

 the third ending in the hind margin ; forks of the radial vein in 

 the hind wing more symmetrical 

 d The median vein with a normal foi'k ; hind wings, when present, 

 usually but little longer than broad and with a copious 

 venation 

 f The intercalaries between the first and second anal veins 

 variable, but usually more or less independent, and not 

 directly dependent from the first anal ; three well-devel- 

 oped caudal setae (except in Blasturus, in our 

 fauna) 

 g Hind wings present 



h Vein Mo and bisector of the cubital fork independent; 

 between the latter and vein CU2 no intercalaries ; vein 

 Cuo in the hind wing rarely preserved ; caudal setae 

 generally much longer than the body ; penultimate 

 segment of the male forceps shorter than the ante- 

 penultimate 

 / In the hind wing the subcostal vein reaches nearly to 

 the wing apex ; male forceps three-jointed 

 ;■ Hind wing with a slight concavity at the middle of 

 costal mai'gin ; 5-G longitudinal veins between 

 Ro and Re ; veinlets numerous about the wing 

 margins and crossveins numeroiis in the hind 

 wings 

 7c Third anal vein of the hind wing wanting; caudal 

 setae of about equal length . . . . L e p t o p h 1 e b i a 

 kJc Third anal vein of the hind wing present, and often 

 followed by one or two additional intercalaries ; 

 median caudal seta distinctly shorter than the 



others Blasturus 



;■/ Hind wing with an angular lobe projecting forward 

 from the middle of the costal margin ; 4 longitud- 

 inal veins between R, and R^; wing margins free 

 from veinlets, and few crossveins in hind wing
