Holotype, , forewing 12-6 mm long. wing. In particular there is a short, indistinct, vein between the subcosta and the costal margin about half-way along the wing. This is almost certainly part of the underlying wing (? a hindwing) and not the subcostal vein of the fore (top) wing. The actual subcosta of the forewing appears to extend almost to the apex of the wing. Initially this specimen was considered to be a chrysopid (Neuroptera), with some general similarities to the aberrant Recent genus Kimochrysa Tjeder, 1966 (Chrysopidae); in particular.
