Head capsule (frons apex–post occipital sulcus) = 1.3 mm (♂) and 1 mm (♀), gena–gena margins = 2 mm (♂) and 1.7 mm (♀), eyes very large and three ocelli visible on the holotype (diameter of 0.26 mm) (Fig. S8B). Antennae poorly preserved, visible only the scape. Head capsule almost of the same width as the thorax, mesoscutum well-developed. Forewing almost totally preserved in the holotype (only partially visible on the paratype), with a length of ~ 5.3 mm and a width (at distal upper apex of pterostigma and 2cua distal lower apex) of 1.74 mm, wing length/width ratio = 3.05, tegula visible on the left forewing (Fig. S7). Pterostigma completely sclerotized, SC developed over the entire length, joining C approximately at RS base (Fig. S7). R sinuous, slightly dilated at RS base. 1-RS and RS + M are slightly longer than 1-M (~ 1.4 times) and 1-RS (~ 1.3 times), respectively. Angle between 1-RS and RS-M of forewings of 146°. M+CuA slightly concave until the split between M and CuA.1 A straight.Presence of cells 3r and 4r; cell 1 mcu ~ 3 times as long as high, distally dilatated; cell 2 rm wide, ~ 3 times as long as width.Hind wing only partially preserved. Legs partially preserved, mostly only femur and tibia are preserved; tarsus and tarsal claws visible on the paratype (Fig. S8). Abdomen almost completely preserved, with ten visible segments.

Among these dipteran fossils, six out of 56 are phosphatized but no soft tissues or inner organs are recognizable (Fig. S11B–E). Some adults are complete and well preserved; setae are visible on legs, wings, and at the margin of compound eyes; in some cases, the outlines of the hexagonal facets within compound eyes are visible (

The association of these enigmatic round-shaped bodies with the insect abdomen (mean = 2.83 for the round-shaped units) is not random, indeed their abundance on insect bodies significantly differs from the one of those dispersed into the fossil matrices (mean = 0.09 round-shaped units) (Wilcoxon rank sum test results: W = 0,
