Mayfly Species Cinygmula uniformis

Very similar to the Cinygmula gartrelli in genitalic characters. Differs at once by the uniform light amber coloration of the entire wings and the lack of heavy cross-veining. Male. Head smoky brown with the pits of the antennae pale ochreous; thorax brown, a slightly paler shade than in gartrelli, with more extended lighter brown shading cephalad of the scutellum; pleural coloration much as in gartrelli. Abdomen dorsally with the hyaline areas on segments II-VII more extended, in consequence the brown posterior banding is narrower and also paler, showing none of the ruddy shades of gartrelli; the opaque posterior segments are almost unicolorous sepia-brown with a fine, blackish, posterior border to VIII. Ventrally very pale ochreous, segments VIII and IX shaded with light ochre-brown; ganglionic marks very faint, slightly ruddy. Forceps and setae light smoky. Legs light brown, the anterior tibia considerably longer than trochanter and femur combined and longer than the same joint in gartrelli; mid and hind femora lightly tinged with ruddy. Wings unicolorous light amber with fine brown veins and crossveins.

Very similar to male. Head brown, frequently with considerable ruddy suffusion, vertex tipped laterally with light ochreous.
