If no rank is listed, the taxon is considered an unranked clade in modern classifications. Ranks may be repeated or presented in the wrong order because authors working on different parts of the classification may disagree about how to rank taxa.
Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. Huguet et al. 2002 | Wing large, with many cells; antenodal cross-veins of the first rank between C and ScP numerous, more numerous than for Permaeschna dolloi, comparable to Gondvanoptilon brasiliense. No other clear characters would be sufficient to characterize this taxon. In fact, the type specimen should have never been named |
