Eucapnopsis
DIAGNOSIS:
This genus is characterized by particularly short cerci with fewer than 11 segments in adults and less than
15 in
nymphs (
Fig. 28
). The male epiproct is short and stout (
Fig. 44
), especially in comparison to other Mongolian capniids and
Capnia
in particular whose epiproct is of comparable width but is much longer. Male sternum 9 has a vesicle (
Fig. 45
) with a structure similar to the ventral vesicles in
Isocapnia
. The female subgenital plate is membranous with two lateral sclerites that extend medially (
Fig. 46
). The lacinia of the nymph has 30 or more even—length teeth (
Fig. 27
), whereas other capniids have fewer teeth that vary in size along the length of the ventral comb (
Fig. 29
).
DISTRIBUTION—Global:

DISCUSSION:
We did not document
Eucapnopsis
during our surveys, but the species
Eucapnopsis brevicauda
is known from the Eroo River (Surenkhorloo 2009).
