This family of Trichoptera is characterized by having sclerotization on the dorsal surface of the first two thoracic segments. Also, it has a dorsal hump on the first abdominal segment, along with two lateral humps. Here, on a more mature specimen, one can see the prosternal horn characteristic of it and another family Uenoidae. More information on the Uenoidae.
