species
Capnia
(
Bolshecapnia
)
sasquatchi
(
Ricker, 1965
)
=
Sasquacapnia sasquatchi
(Ricker)
by present designation
Male characteristics:
Epiproct long, slender and curved dorsad near mid-length (
Figs. 56, 60
,
67, 71
). A pair of dorsal sclerites arise from the epiproct base and extend forward for approximately a third or more of the epiproct length (
Fig. 57
,
72
); sclerites narrow and may be acute at their tips. Epiproct narrows subapically and expands at the apex; apical area contains extrudable membranous material that may be partially or fully exposed (
Figs. 64
,
69
). Abdominal terga without dorsal knobs; tergum 9 with patches of long setae (
Figs. 55
,
61
).
Vesicle
(n = 5). Oval in outline, constricted at the base and covered with thick setae (
Fig. 65
).
Female characteristics:
Subgenital plate usually reaching anterior margin of sternum 9; margin rounded and notched in
S. missiona
(
Fig. 66
) and truncate in
S. sasquatchi
(fig.
14 in
Baumann & Potter 2007).
Wings:
As noted above, the wing venation for
Sasquacapnia
is indistinguishable from that of
Bolshecapnia
and
Eurekapnia
.
Larval characteristics:
Unknown.
Current species:
S. missiona
,
S. sasquatchi
Distribution:
Known from
British Columbia
,
Montana
and
Washington
(
DeWalt et al. 2018
).
Etymology:
The generic name,
Sasquacapnia
, is based on “Sasquatchi”, a species name assigned by
Ricker (1965)
and formed from the name of the “yeti- like forest giants of the Fraser River valley
Salish Indian legends” (
Ricker 1965
).
