Arsapnia is a genus of small winter stoneflies in the family Capniidae. There are about eight described species in Arsapnia.[1][2][3]

The genus Arsapnia was originally described in 1897, but was considered a synonym of Capnia. Arsapnia was re-established in 2014 by Murányi, et al., for eight species of Capnia.[2]

Species

These eight species, formerly members of Capnia, now belong to the genus Arsapnia:

  • Arsapnia arapahoe (Nelson & Kondratieff, 1988)
  • Arsapnia coyote (Nelson & Baumann, 1987)
  • Arsapnia decepta Banks, 1897
  • Arsapnia pileata (Jewett, 1966)
  • Arsapnia sequoia (Nelson & Baumann, 1987)
  • Arsapnia teresa (Claassen, 1924)
  • Arsapnia tumida (Claassen, 1924)
  • Arsapnia utahensis (Gaufin & Jewett, 1962)
