- Inocelliids are larger than most raphidiids, with the front wing varying in length from 11 to 17 mm.
- 1993, Memoirs of the Entomological Society of Canada:
- Like raphidiids, xyelids have the mesopleuron divided into an episternum and epimeron by a distinct mesopleural suture, but the suture is angled much more obliquely and the epimeron is much smaller than the episternum (Figs. 8-10).
