[46] [47] Traver contributed to the 1935 work The Biology of Mayflies, [48] and has been called "the first Ephemeroptera specialist in North ...

Oligoneuriidae is a family of mayflies with a pantropical distribution. They are also known as brushlegged mayflies due to the presence of two rows of setae used for filtration on the front legs of their nymphs.
They are a family of the order Ephemeroptera. There are eight genera consisting of a total 90 species (Merritt & Cummins). They are distributed throughout North America as well as the UK.

a central caudal filament, prolongation or median appendix dorsalis, which arises from the tip of the epiproct in certain apterygotes, many mayflies (Ephemeroptera), and a few fossil insects. [42] A similar structure in nymphal stoneflies is of uncertain homology.
