Belg., 90: 324.The subgenus Timpanoga of the genus Ephemerella contains but a singIe species,Ephmerella hecuba Eaton. Needham (1927) derived the name for this subgenus from Mt.

He based the subgenus on the nymph which shows remarkable morphological distinction with its broad entire frontal shelf and its extremely flattened body.
