New genus and species of sisyrids (Insecta, Neuroptera) from the Late Cretaceous Myanmar amber

Abstract. A new genus and species of Sisyridae, Stictosisyra pennyi gen. et sp. n., is described from the Late Cretaceous (earliest Cenomanian/late Albian) Myanmar amber. It can be easily distinguished from other sisyrids genera by the configuration of wing venation such as forewing with four ra-rp...

description Abstract. A new genus and species of Sisyridae, Stictosisyra pennyi gen. et sp. n., is described from the Late Cretaceous (earliest Cenomanian/late Albian) Myanmar amber. It can be easily distinguished from other sisyrids genera by the configuration of wing venation such as forewing with four ra-rp crossveins, M forked distal to the separation of RP1, CuA pectinate and CuP simple; hind wing 1r-m long and sinuous. Besides, the newly documented spongillaflies bore distinct, irregularly distributed spots on the forewings.
