Comments.
Only the last three abdominal segments and the genitalia are preserved. A detailed examination of the hypopygium shows that it belongs to the subgenus
Euorthocladius
Thienemann, 1935
, but it does not fit with any other known species.
ASHE &
O’CONNOR
(2012: 703)
listed the name among
nomina dubia
in
Orthocladiinae
; despite the specimen being in very poor condition, it is considered a valid species.
