Autapomorphy of Stenacron.

(1) Egg, instead of usual knob-terminated threads [see Branchitergaliae (4)], bears on each pole a ring formed by very long coiled threads, that looks as a polar cap (Koss 1968: Fig.16). Similar structure occurs in some Furcatergaliae only (see Index of characters [3.6]).

Character of Stenacron of unclear phylogenetic status.

(2) All tergalii I–VII have stretched pointed apices, and tergalii I–VI [which have long anal rib – see Stenonema/fg1 (2)] have this pointed apex somewhat curved anteriorly (Kluge 2004: Fig.56:O). In all other Stenonema/fg1 tergalii I–VI are not pointed.

Plesiomorphy of Stenacron. Unlike Macdunnoa, tergalii VII [thin and lacking fibrillose portion – see Stenonema/fg1 (3)] are not shortened.

Size. Fore wing length 8–12 mm. 

Distribution. Eastern Nearctic.
