Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| O. Béthoux and A. Nel 2003 | ScA long parallel to anterior margin, distally vanishing in a pigmented (sclerotized?) apical area; area between anterior margin and ScA pigmented (sclerotized?); apex slightly pointed and slightly rejected posteriorly; ScP ending on RA just distal of midway of wing; few cross-veins between ScA and ScP, irregularly spaced, with one cross-vein just opposite end of ScP on RA; ScP and R basally posteriorly bowed; all cross-veins between RA and RP close to or distal of end of ScP on RA, few in apical area; RP with numerous branches, first posterior branch simple; MP with at least two branches; M and MP aligned and MA looking like an oblique secondary anterior branch; MA shortly connected with RP; origin of CuA from Cu distinct and long; Cu and CuP aligned and CuA looking like an oblique secondary anterior branch; CuA shortly connected with M; short basal oblique cross-vein opposite to a narrowing of area between CuA and CuP, just distal of connection of CuA with M; three more or less parallel series of gradate cross-veins between branches of RP, MA, branches of MP and CuA; less than ten pigmented spots, all roughly located basal of a cross-vein, in areas between main veins; apical and posterior wing margin more or less pigmented; cerci twice body length (only known in specimen MNHN-LPR. 52937, here assigned to Diaphanoptera incertae sedis). |
