• Scrutiny:
  • Heads, 2012, Heads et al. (2012, p. 116) regard this species as a nomen inquirendum with the following 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."
