Arsapnia is a genus of small winter stoneflies in the family Capniidae. There are about eight described species in Arsapnia.[1][2][3]

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.[2]

These eight species, formerly members of Capnia, now belong to the genus Arsapnia:
