Genus Proneuronema Makarkin, Wedmann & Weiterschan, 2016

Type species. Proneuronema minor Makarkin et al., 2016 , by original designation.

Emended diagnosis. All character states of the original diagnosis of Proneuronema (see Makarkin et al. 2016) occur in Proneuronema and Archibaldia . Proneuronema may be distinguished from Archibaldia by a combination of the following forewing character states [those of Archibaldia in brackets]: relatively small species with forewing 5.9–7.3 mm long [larger, forewing 7.9–14 mm long]; crossvein 1r-m absent [present; not detected in A. densistriata and A. gradata ]; no crossvein between RA and RP1 or RP2 [one to three crossveins; poorly visible in A. densistriata ; one detected between RP1 or RP 2 in A. gradata paratype, see Makarkin et al. 2016: Fig. 9A]; M forked once proximad third gradate series [dichotomously branched, i.e., three or more long branches originating proximad third gradate series]; CuP forked distad first gradate series [proximad first gradate series]; crossveins between branches of CuP proximad outer (fourth) gradate series absent [these crossveins are present; absent in A. gradata holotype, but present in paratype: Makarkin et al. 2016: Fig. 10A].

Species included. P. minor (Baltic amber), P. sidorchukae , and P. damzeni sp. nov. (Rovno amber).
