Panephemeroptera

Nymph of Mesogenesia petersae, from Staniczek et al. (2011); scale bar = 2 mm.


Belongs within: Palaeoptera.
Contains: Permoplectoptera, Furcatergalia, Pisciformia.

The Panephemeroptera are the clade of insects including the modern Ephemeroptera, mayflies, and their fossil relatives. Mayflies spend the greater part of their life cycle as aquatic nymphs (called naiads), with the emergent stage of their life-cycle (including two instars, the sub-adult subimago and the fully mature imago) being non-feeding and short-lived.
