Etymology.
The species is named in memory of Andrzej Skalski, who published the first record of a lophocoronid specimen from Asia ( Skalski 1979), an interpretation later considered very tentative by Kristensen and Skalski (1998).
Preservation.
Completely preserved in a nearly rectangular piece of amber, wings somewhat spread, but overlapping, head, legs and postabdomen clearly visible (Fig. 34 View Figure 34 ).
Description.
Length of forewings 4.1 mm, antennae dark brown, with 29 flagellomeres; wing venation (Fig. 18 View Figures 18–25 ) with cross-veins r1-ac and m-cu present, hindwings without accessory- (ac) and median cell (mc).
Male genitalia (Figs 19 View Figures 18–25 , 20 View Figures 18–25 ): segment IX with short, median prolongation in dorsal view, presumed median plate below this prolongation bilobed; rod-like spine on ventral apex of valvae long and straight, apical margin of valvae with denticules, and some additional denticules before margins; basal spikes of valvae paired, longer as length of valvae, sitting on elongate papillae from median side of valvae, a third median pair of bristles present, shorter than basal spikes.
