Arsapnia
''Arsapnia'' is a genus of small winter stoneflies in the family Capniidae. There are about eight described species in ''Arsapnia''. 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 ''Capnia'' is a genus of small winter stoneflies in the family Capniidae.

Capniidae
The Capniidae, the small winter stoneflies, are a family of insects in the stonefly order (Plecoptera). It constitutes one of the largest stonefly families, containing some 300 species distributed throughout the holarctic. Their closest relatives are the rolled-winged stoneflies (Leuctridae). Many species are endemic to small ranges, perhaps due to the family's tendency to evolve tolerance for cold (isolating populations in mountain valleys) and winglessness (inhibiting dispersal). Indeed, some wingless Capniidae – e.g. the Lake Tahoe benthic stonefly ('' "Capnia" lacustra'', ''Capnia'' is not monophyletic and this species is suspected to belong elsewhere) or '' Baikaloperla'' spp. – spend their entire lifecycles under water and do not disperse from their native lakes at all. Description and ecology Adult Capniidae, as their common name implies, are typically small Plecoptera; while most are less than 1 cm long with some measuring just 4 mm as adults, a fe ...

Capnia
''Capnia'' is a genus of small winter stoneflies in the family Capniidae. There are at least 120 described species in ''Capnia''. ''Capnia'' has generally been considered polyphyletic. Three new or resurrected genera have recently been created, partially or wholly, from some of its species: '' Arsapnia'', '' Sierracapnia'', and '' Zwicknia''. In addition, seven ''Capnia'' species were previously included the genus ''Bolshecapnia'' when it was elevated from subgenus to genus, and three of those species were placed in the new genera ''Eurekapnia ''Eurekapnia'' is a genus of small winter stoneflies in the family Capniidae The Capniidae, the small winter stoneflies, are a family of insects in the stonefly order (Plecoptera).
