The specimen keys out to the genus Helicoconis Enderleinof the subfamily Aleuropteryginae in Meinander's (1972) key, butgenitalic studies show the need for a new generic designation. Becausethe genitalia of this new genus differ from all known generaof Coniopterygidae, it is difficult to make comparisons, but fordescriptive purposes, the genitalia are compared to those of Helicoconis.The structures referred to here as ectoprocts are probablyequivalent to the ectoprocts of Helicoconis but may representother structures
