Tibiae of legs without spurs. Tarsal nail without basal spine. Wing well developed, translucent with blackish tinge; anal angle big. Wing venation: Sc long; Sc 1 nearly reaching branching point of Rs; Sc 2 close to Sc 1 tip; R 1 elongate; R 2 short and transverse; radial sector long, slightly arched at base; discal cell small, distinctly shorter than branches of M beyond it; basal section of CuA 1 situated slightly beyond branching point of M; A 2 short and straight. Male terminalia medium-sized; ninth tergite transverse with two rounded lobes on posterior margin, separated by Vshaped notch; ninth sternite medially semi-membrannous; gonocoxite elongate, nearly cylindrical, without additional lobes, with two terminal rod-shaped gonostyles.

The genus Limnorimarga is monotipic known only from East Palaearctic (originally as subgenus of genus Orimarga Osten Sacken ), which was described from North Korea ( Alexander, 1945), later found in Russian Far East and Japan ( Oosterbroek, 2013).
