Abstract

Corydasialidae is one of the extinct families of Neuroptera, currently comprising six genera and ten species from several Cretaceous and Eocene deposits. Here we describe a new genus and a new species of Corydasialidae from the mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber, namely Punctocorydasialis zhiqiae gen. & sp. nov. The new genus can be distinguished from the other genera of Corydasialidae by the forewing with pigmented marking pattern, and the RP with all branches simple, and the A1 distally pectinated.
