Sasquacapnia Baumann & Broome, New genus

Type species Capnia (Bolshecapnia) sasquatchi (Ricker, 1965) = Sasquacapnia sasquatchi (Ricker) by present designation

Male characteristics: Epiproct long, slender and curved dorsad near mid-length (Figs. 56, 60, 67, 71). A pair of dorsal sclerites arise from the epiproct base and extend forward for approximately a third or more of the epiproct length (Fig. 57, 72); sclerites narrow and may be acute at their tips. Epiproct narrows subapically and expands at the apex; apical area contains extrudable membranous material that may be partially or fully exposed (Figs. 64, 69). Abdominal terga without dorsal knobs; tergum 9 with patches of long setae (Figs. 55, 61).

Vesicle (n = 5). Oval in outline, constricted at the base and covered with thick setae (Fig. 65).

Female characteristics: Subgenital plate usually reaching anterior margin of sternum 9; margin rounded and notched in S. missiona (Fig. 66) and truncate in S. sasquatchi (fig. 14 in Baumann & Potter 2007).

Wings: As noted above, the wing venation for Sasquacapnia is indistinguishable from that of Bolshecapnia and Eurekapnia .

Larval characteristics: Unknown.

Current species: S. missiona, S. sasquatchi

Distribution: Known from British Columbia, Montana and Washington (DeWalt et al. 2018).

Etymology: The generic name, Sasquacapnia, is based on “Sasquatchi”, a species name assigned by Ricker (1965) and formed from the name of the “yeti- like forest giants of the Fraser River valley

Salish Indian legends” (Ricker 1965).
