Emended diagnosis.

Forewing 2cu-a intersecting Cu and Rs+M at the same point or postfurcal. Hind wing may have tubular veins C and Sc+R separated at base, R developed, M+Cu robust and forking at the basal part, M and Cu distinct, or simplified venation.

Remarks.

This genus was established by Shih et al. 2011 based on a holotype, allotype and six paratypes from the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China. Due to lack of discernible hind wings on the fossils of holotype and allotype, the hind wing venation was not described. With the new forewing and hind wing venational information on our new materials, we emended the generic diagnosis.
