The genus is solely known from Early Cretaceous, Albian age, fossil amber found in Spain.

The specimen is included in a piece of amber with plant debris and a number of other insects, such as a thysanopteran, hymenopterans.

The fossil was recovered from outcrops of the Escucha Formation in Moraza, part of the Province of Burgos in northern Spain.

[1] Amarantoraphidia was first studied by group of paleoentomologists led by Ricardo Pérez-de la Fuente of the University of Barcelona and including Enrique Peñalver, Xavier Delclòs, and Michael S. Engel.

The hyaline forewings are partially preserved, displaying brown vein structuring that hosts robust setae, notably along the C-vein.
