Autapomorphies of
Teloganodes
(1)
On tergalii beginning from the pair III (either pairs III–V, or pairs III–IV, or pair III only), dorsal lobe is deeply cleft (
Figs 1
,
51–53, 55–56
) (unique autapomorphy). Other, non-unique features of tergalii structure are: tergalius I is absent; tergalius II is operculate, i.e. with dorsal lobe convex, larger than others and never cleft; tergalii II and next ones (either II–V, or II–IV, or II–III) retain the two-branched ventral lobe bearing processes on both its branches (that is initial for
Ephemerelloidea
) (
Figs 1
,
50–57
).
(2)
Larval, subimaginal and imaginal paracercus is vestigial, 1-segmented. The same in some other mayflies; among Ephemerella/fg1, the same in
Dicercomyzon
Demoulin 1954
only.
(3)
In subimago, paired lateral pigmented area of mesonotum (termed here
latero-posterior scutal chromozone
) occupies the whole sublateroscutum, the whole submedioscutum and a latero-posterior part of medioscutum, leaving a non-pigmented median area (termed here
achromozone
) in a form of unpaired median stripe narrowing posteriorly; the latero-posterior scutal chromozone is separated from the achromozone by a distinct, evenly arched line termed here
latero-posterior chromozonal suture
(
Figs 27–28
). The area anteriad of the achromozone is termed here
anterior scutal chromozone
. Color of the anterior scutal chromozone, the lateroposterior scutal chromozones and the achromozone vary among species, but shape of their borders is constant for
Teloganodes
. Microtrichia cover most part of scutum, being absent on lateroscutum and posterior scutal protuberances (
Fig. 99
). In contrast to
Ephemerellidae
and the most primitive representatives of Pantricorythi, the lateroparapsidal sutures of subimago and imago of
Teloganodes
are not curved laterally, but converge with the medioparapsidal sutures (
Kluge 2004
: p. 294, character 10 of Ephemerella/fg1) (
Fig. 28
).
