Remarks.
The described new genus
Khutelia
gen. nov.
is assigned to the family
Baissoferidae
by the absence of fork F 4 and by much more distal branching M relative to the branching point of RS and by the more distal F
1
relative to F
2
and F.
In the diagnosis of the genus, it is presumably written that the TC cell is possibly closed. The degree of preservation of the wing does not allow us to define this more precisely.
