  phylogenetic justification
Several wing characters support the attribution of this fossil to Hemiphlebiidae, close to the Cretaceous genus Parahemiphlebia, such as tiny size with few cells in the wing venation, basally open discoidal cell in forewings, non-aligned postnodal and postsubnodal crossveins, and the kink of RP1 at the stigmal brace vein.
