Skwala
DIAGNOSIS:
The male hemitergal processes are knob-like (
Fig. 292
), much shorter and stouter than those of
Arcynopteryx
and
Megarcys
.
Skwala
, like
Diura
and
Filchneria
,
lacks an external epiproct. The female subgenital plate is trapezoidal with a slight emargination posteriorly (
Fig. 293
). The nymph is similar to
Arcynopteryx
, but may be distinguished by the pleural fold extending only through abdominal segments 1 and 2 as well as the presence of serrations on both mandibles, however we did not have sufficient Mongolian specimens, particularly of the unknown
A. sajanensis
and
S. asiatica
, to confirm these purported diagnostic characteristics.
