Etymology.
The species is named in memory of Andrzej Skalski, who published the first record of a lophocoronid specimen from Asia (
Skalski 1979
), an interpretation later considered very tentative by
Kristensen and Skalski (1998)
.
Preservation.
Completely preserved in a nearly rectangular piece of amber, wings somewhat spread, but overlapping, head, legs and postabdomen clearly visible (Fig.
34
).
Description
.
Length of forewings 4.1 mm, antennae dark brown, with 29 flagellomeres; wing venation (Fig.
18
) with cross-veins r1-ac and m-cu present, hindwings without accessory- (ac) and median cell (mc).
Male genitalia
(Figs

): segment IX with short, median prolongation in dorsal view, presumed median plate below this prolongation bilobed; rod-like spine on ventral apex of valvae long and straight, apical margin of valvae with denticules, and some additional denticules before margins; basal spikes of valvae paired, longer as length of valvae, sitting on elongate papillae from median side of valvae, a third median pair of bristles present, shorter than basal spikes. Phallus not visible.
