Both males and females are macropterous (

), but not quite as stout as those of
Skwala pusilla
(
Fig. 292
). The female subgenital plate has a wide median notch, much broader than other
Arcynopteryx

Fig. 249
,

). In addition, the lobes of the female plate are pointed and their medial surfaces are parallel sided (
Fig. 259
). The nymph is unknown.

DISCUSSION:
Previous
to our survey, this species was recorded from
Mongolia
only as female specimens (
Zhiltzova
&
Varykhanova
1984).
Our
records add
1 male
specimen along with
2 females
from north of
Khovsgol
lake (
Fig. 260
), confirming the validity of the historical record.
Specimens
from
Mongolia
may be erroneously identified as
A. amurensis
(Zhiltsova and Levanidova, 1978)
as was the case with the historical specimens we examined
.
