Diagnosis. With the characters of family Troctopsocidae . Differing from all other genera of the family in posterodistal (instead of distal) orientation of vein R4+ 5 in the hindwing ( Figs 2 View FIGURES 1–8 , 12 View FIGURES 9–13 ). Antennae 13-segmented; f1 approximately equals f 2 in length. P2 straight and somewhat thickened; P4 bullet-shaped ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1–8 ). Wings membranous; forewing with scattered spots, some tending to form transverse lines ( Figs 1 View FIGURES 1–8 , 11 View FIGURES 9–13 ); first segment of vein Rs in hindwing absent. Fore tibia and fore t1 lacking longitudinal row of stout setae; pretarsal claws of each foot structurally equal, each with a major (outer) and minor (inner) preapical denticle (as in Fig. 6 View FIGURES 1–8 ). Subgenital plate triangular ( Figs 7 View FIGURES 1–8 , 13 View FIGURES 9–13 ). See also the generic key.

Structures visible on the extant, but not in the fossil species: subgenital plate with four stout apical setae; Tshaped sclerite present, with short arms ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 1–8 ); in ovipositor valvulae, v2 and v3 fused in basal half; v3 only moderately bilobed at apex.
