DIAGNOSIS: Oral margin in frontal view broad (width 0.7× the distance between compound eyes), much of frontal portion of head membranous/lightly sclerotized, most of it covered with fine setulae; dorsal margin of head barely protruding (cf. Spiloconis oediloma Engel and Grimaldi ); wing with r-rs proximal to fork of R 2+3 –R 4+5 (i.e., r-rs connected to Rs); L/W basal discal cell 3.2; antenna with 21–22 flagellomeres (23–24 antennomeres), size of basal flagellomere nearly equal to that of other flagellomeres.

TYPE AND OTHER MATERIAL: Known only from Dominican amber. Holotype , AMNH DR14-1094 About AMNH , in clear yellow amber 9 × 4 × 5 mm in size, embedded in EpoTek 301 resin, 12 × 3 × 5 mm. The amber contains many bubbles, and the holotype is best observed ventrally. Meinander (1988) stated that the body of the specimen was covered with “wax” (a fine layer of which indeed coats most modern dustywings), but the fossil is actually covered with a milky froth, a preservational artifact common among inclusions in amber. Another specimen was reported ( AMNH DR14-1094 About AMNH ) with a photograph, in Engel and Grimaldi (2007). It is a wellpreserved female in a small, clear yellow square of amber, 4 × 4 × 1.5 mm .
