[Sebbe]

Known only from a female specimen collected in 1903. The specimen is damaged (abdomen is missing). Male and immature stages are unknown. Included as a nomen dubium by Rasmussen and Morse (2020), but still recognized as valid by the Trichoptera World Checklist (Morse 2021).

This species is known from only one damaged specimen collected in 1903 at Biscayne Bay, Florida, USA. The validity of this species is questionable.

Species has not been seen since 1903 and may be extinct.
