A new genus and first Cenozoic fossil record of moth lacewings (Neuroptera: Ithonidae) from the Early Eocene of North America
A new genus and species Allorapisma chuorum gen. sp. nov. is described from the Early Eocene locality at Republic, Washington, U.S.A. The forewing venation of Allorapisma is most similar to that of the genus Principiala Makarkin & Menon from the Early Cretaceous of Brazil and Britain. A new, informal suprageneric taxon consisting of these genera is proposed, the Principiala group. The habitats ...
متن کاملFirst record of the family Ithonidae (Neuroptera) from Baltic amber.
Elektrithone expectata gen. et sp. nov. (Neuroptera: Ithonidae) is described from Eocene Baltic amber and represents the first record of this family from Baltic amber. The forewing venation of the new genus is characterized by a small number of crossveins as found in some 'polystoechotid'-like genera, and by the absence of the distal nygma and the strong reduction of the anal area which are cha...
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...
متن کاملJumping mechanisms in lacewings (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae and Hemerobiidae).
Lacewings launch themselves into the air by simultaneous propulsive movements of the middle and hind legs as revealed in video images captured at a rate of 1000 s(-1). These movements were powered largely by thoracic trochanteral depressor muscles but did not start from a particular preset position of these legs. Ridges on the lateral sides of the meso- and metathorax fluoresced bright blue whe...
متن کاملA 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...
