Eurekapnia maculata , male reproductive structures. All localities in California, Alameda Co., Arroyo Mocho. 37. Male epiproct and terminal abdominal segments dorsal. 38. Epiproct lateral. 39. Epiproct base dorsal. 40. Epiproct apex unexpanded dorsal. 41. Epiproct, with apex expanded dorsal. 42. Epiproct apex expanded dorsal. Male epiproct (n = 6). Length 524-543 μm, width at midlength 224-250 μm, greatest width near base 295-300 μm. Sclerotized hooks arise subapically from either side of the median groove, and are bent sharply laterad, and extend beyond the lateral margins of the epiproct body ( Figs. 25-29 ); tips of basolateral hooks extend forward for about 0.75 of the total epiproct length. Median groove wide near apex, narrowing gradually to the widest point near the epiproct base ( Fig. 26 ). Small clumps of spongy appearing tissue located along lateral margins near base of hooks ( Figs. 27-28 ). Base of epiproct body bearing a pair of dorsal ridges separated by terminus of median groove ( Figs. 27, 29 ). Apex with a protruding membranous process ( Figs. 29- 30 ). Tergal process (n = 3). Absent, but tergum 9 covered with a broad band of short, thick setae ( Figs. 27-28 ). Vesicle (n = 1). Length = 219 μm, basal width =. 214 μm, median width = 252 μm. Process relatively wide, slightly wider near midlength ( Fig. 31-32 ). Ventral surface covered with thick setae. Female subgenital plate (n = 3). This structure is an apically narrowed, tongue-shaped process, about twice as wide at midlength as near the apical margin ( Figs. 33-34 ); the structure extends beyond the anterior margin of sternum 9 (see fig. 169 in Baumann et al. 1977 ), and is hairless except for a few scattered long setae on the basal half. Several variations in the structure are shown in figs. 15-16 ( Ricker 1965 ). Larva. Described by Stewart & Stark (1988, 2002) and Stewart & Oswood (2006). The larval characteristics listed above for the genus are based on these descriptions.
