Type material. Holotype: Specimen No. 5122, deposited in MCZ. A nearly complete female. Verbatim label data: [hand written] “ Neuroptera / 17941”; [typed and hand written] “Mus. Comp. Zool. / no. 5122 / Raphidia / baltica / Carpenter / 272 Baltic amber”.

Type locality. Baltic amber (precise collecting locality is unknown).

Comments. The pterostigma of this species is not shorter than in other species of the genus ( Fig. 5 ). The venation of the holotype is correctly figured by Carpenter (1957) and fully concordant with the diagnosis of Succinoraphidia . At least, the species cannot be assigned to Raphidia Linnaeus, 1758 or any other genus of the extant and fossil Raphidiidae as some character states of S. baltica are absent in these (see below).
