Proanaxipha bicolorata Vickery & Poinar, 1994 nomen inquirendum

Proanaxipha bicolorata Vickery & Poinar, 1994: 16, fig. 4 - Perez-Gelabert 2001: 72 - Otte and Perez-Gelabert 2009: 142 - Gorochov 2010: 80 [442].

Remarks.

Based on Vickery and Poinar’s (1994) photograph of the holotype (a nymph), it is clear that this species does not belong in Proanaxipha or even within Pentacentrinae . Unfortunately, neither the illustration nor the original description are sufficient to determine the subfamilial placement of this species, a situation that is further complicated by the nymphal condition of the specimen. Gorochov (2010) suggested a possible affinity with Nemobiinae or Eneopterinae and while both seem possible, neither can be confirmed. Therefore, the species is herein regarded as a nomen inquirendum until the type can be redescribed.
