A new Cretaceous family of enigmatic two-winged lacewings (Neuroptera)
Insects of the order Neuroptera usually bear four welldeveloped wings. However, there are a few brachypterous, micropterous or apterous species, found in several extant families (see a short review below). Grimaldi (2000) described the enigmatic fossil neuropteran genus Mantispidiptera Grimaldi and its two minute species M. enigmatica Grimaldi and M. henryi Grimaldi (forewings 2.63–3.12 mm long...
متن کاملPhylogeny and biogeography of southern African spoon-winged lacewings (Neuroptera: Nemopteridae: Nemopterinae).
Nemopteridae are a charismatic family of lacewings characterised by uniquely extended hind wings. They are an ancient widespread group in the drier regions of the world.

The present distribution of the family has been largely influenced by the vicariant events of plate tectonics, resulting ...
متن کاملKymachrysa, a new genus of Nearctic Green Lacewings (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae, Chrysopini)
Two North American species of green lacewings have undergone a number of changes in their generic assignments and are currently classified as incertae sedis. Here we demonstrate that adults (both sexes) and larvae of these species share a set of features that distinguishes them from currently described genera. Thus, to promote nomenclatural stability in Chrysopidae, we describe Kymachrysa, a ge...

متن کاملPharmacophagy in green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae: Chrysopa spp.)?
Green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) are voracious predators of aphids and other small, soft-bodied insects and mites. Earlier, we identified (1R,2S,5R,8R)-iridodial from wild males of the goldeneyed lacewing, Chrysopa oculata Say, which is released from thousands of microscopic dermal glands on the abdominal sterna. Iridodial-baited traps attract C. oculata and other Chrysopa spp. males i...
