Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
S. B. Archibald 2005Wings of Dinokanaga may be easily distinguished from those of Dinopanorpa by the following character states: (1) crossveins mostly developed to fine, dense reticulate venation throughout most of wing in larger species, in smaller species large numbers of simple crossveins in parts of wing, branching to reticulate in other areas; (2) 5–7 branches of Rs; (3) pectinate branching of Rs3,Rs4 (Dinopanorpa: joined as Rs3+4 for distance); (4) joining of M + CuA extremely brief (≤0.5 mm) or only touching; (5) M straight or almost through brief joining with CuA; (6) 1A straight or gently curved, not bent sharply by crossveins near base; (7) no strong, oblique, m-cu crossvein; area filled with densely reticulate crossvenation; (8) colouration (see detailed de- scription of Dinokanaga colouration in the following text, vs. Dinopanorpa colouration in Figs. 2, 3F).
