, due to the absence of macrotrichia on veins M, the fact that it is a female and the inability to determine morphological characters such as the absence or presence of a neck on the flagellomeres (Figure 17.1), make it difficult to assign the specimen to an extant genus. For an impression fossil, preservation of this specimen is exceptional, but although the claws do not appear to have teeth and the labial palps do not appear to have setae, their absence can not be definitively established.
