As far as I can tell no genus of Orthocladiinae in Sweden has the combination:

Gonostylus with long, thin forks of the Brillia type.
Eyes with short, wedge-shaped dorsomedial extension (long in most genera with similar gonostylus).
R-m short, at about 45 degree angle to wing axis.
No long volsellae as in Diplocladius, only a small lobe.
Distinct anal point.
