Tricorythidae is a family of mayflies in the order Ephemeroptera. There are about six genera and at least 40 described species in Tricorythidae. [1] [2] [3]
These six genera belong to the family Tricorythidae:
Baetiscidae is a family of mayflies. It contains a single extant genus, Baetisca, native to North America with around 12 species. The family is noted for their spined armoured larvae, which live in flowing water pools and on the edges of streams where they are detritivores, consuming fine particles of organic matter. Two other extinct genera are known, extending back to the Early Cretaceous. They are closely related to Prosopistomatidae which have unusual, beetle-like nymphs as well as the extinct genus Cretomitarcys, with the three groups constituting the clade Carapacea.
Neoephemeridae is a family of large squaregill mayflies in the order Ephemeroptera. There are at least four genera and about 17 described species in Neoephemeridae.
Prosopistomatidae is a family of mayflies. There is one extant genus, Prosopistoma, with several dozen species found across Afro-Eurasia and Oceania. They are noted for their unusual beetle-shaped larvae, which live beneath rocks and stones along the gravelly lower reaches of rivers. Their ecology is unclear, but they are probably carnivorous. They are closely related to Baetiscidae, with both families being placed in the Carapacea.
Ametropodidae is a family of mayflies in the order Ephemeroptera. There are at least three genera and three described species in Ametropodidae.
Euthyplociidae is a family of mayflies in the order Ephemeroptera. There are about 7 genera and more than 20 described species in Euthyplociidae.
Potamanthus yunnanensis is a species of hacklegilled burrower mayfly in the family Potamanthidae.
Potamanthus formosus is a species of hacklegilled burrower mayfly in the family Potamanthidae.
Potamanthus idiocerus is a species of hacklegilled burrower mayfly in the family Potamanthidae.
Potamanthus huoshanensis is a species of hacklegilled burrower mayfly in the family Potamanthidae.
Potamanthus longitibius is a species of hacklegilled burrower mayfly in the family Potamanthidae.
Potamanthus macrophthalmus is a species of hacklegilled burrower mayfly in the family Potamanthidae.
Potamanthus sabahensis is a species of hacklegilled burrower mayfly in the family Potamanthidae.
Potamanthus subcostalis is a species of hacklegilled burrower mayfly in the family Potamanthidae.
Drunella spinifera is a species of spiny crawler mayfly in the family Ephemerellidae. It is found in southwestern and northern Canada and the western United States and Alaska.
Furcatergalia is a suborder of mayflies in the order Ephemeroptera. There are about 14 families and at least 1,700 described species in Furcatergalia.
Polymitarcyidae is a family of pale burrower mayflies in the order Ephemeroptera. There are about 10 genera and more than 90 described species in Polymitarcyidae.
Metretopodidae is a family of cleftfooted minnow mayflies in the order Ephemeroptera. There are at least 3 genera and more than 20 described species in Metretopodidae.
Acanthametropodidae is a family of sand-dwelling mayflies in the order Ephemeroptera and suborder Pisciforma. There are at least two genera and four described species in Acanthametropodidae.
Arthropleidae is a family of flatheaded mayflies in the order Ephemeroptera. There are at least two genera, one of which is extinct, in Arthropleidae.
Penelomax is a genus of spiny crawler mayflies in the family Ephemerellidae. There is one described species in Penelomax, P. septentrionalis.
