Many details important for the taxonomic placement of this species (e. g. pronotum and mesanapleural sutures) are not visible in the photos of this fossil there and probably they would be available only with the mCT examination. However, such visible features as habitus including small body size, as well as antennal bases located close to each other, very elongated last antennomere that is almost as long as the two preceding ones, oval and setose preapical maxillary palpomere that is clearly wider than the apical one, and wide neck allowed us to conclude that †
