Abstract
Ten genera and 60 species of Capniidae were found in the examined territory of the former USSR. I establish six well-defined species groups of Capnia, differing by the shape of male epiproct and some other characters: 1) “atra” group - 10 species, 2) “vidua” group - 2 species, 3) “japonica” group - 2 species, 4) “bifrons” group - 4 species, 5) “cordata” group - 4 species from Middle Asia and 6 species from Himalaya, 6) “pedestris” group - 7 species from Middle Asia. Six species of Capnia still remain unassigned to any of the groups. Geographic distribution of genera and species is discussed. Six groups of generic distribution and 15 groups of specific distribution are established.
