“…Yang et al, 2012). Similarly, the subfamily Cratosmylinae (comprising only the genus Cratosmylus Myskowiak et al) was recently described in Osmylidae by Myskowiak et al (2015), but we consider that this subfamily is more suitably placed in Nymphidae based on the same wing venation characters presented by the authors.…”

The first phylogeny of the lacewing family Osmylidae is presented here based on a total evidence analysis of DNA sequences for multiple gene loci and morphology for representatives of almost all extant genera. Our phylogeny shows a basal dichotomy in the family, with subfamilies Protosmylinae, Spilosmylinae and Gumillinae comprising one lineage, and the other lineage including Osmylinae, Porisminae, Eidoporisminae, Kempyninae and Stenosmylinae. The status of Paryphosmylus Krüger and Lysmus Navás as members of Protosmylinae is affirmed as well as the placement of Gumillinae near Protosmylinae and Spilosmylinae. Our results suggest that Porisminae, Eidoporisminae and Stenosmylinae evolved from a common ancestor, and their relationships, including likely paraphyly of Stenosmylinae, requires further assessment. Divergence time analysis revealed that the family originated during the Late Permian before the break‐up of the supercontinent Pangaea and that present generic distributions are not due to Gondwanan biogeographic events. All major subfamily‐level lineages were present by the end of the Triassic, in agreement with the rich Mesozoic‐aged fossil record for the family.

“…Menon et al (2005), Shi et al (2015), and Myskowiak et al (2016) considered Araripenymphes Menon, Martins-Neto, and Martill to belong to the Nymphidae (one species: A. seldeni Menon, Martins-Neto, and Martill from the late Aptian Crato Formation). However, this unusual genus is most similar to Cratosmylus Myskowiak, Escuillié, and Nel, also from the Crato Formation, for which the monotypic subfamily Cratosmylinae was erected within the Osmylidae by Myskowiak et al (2015). Makarkin et al (2017) suggested that these two genera form the family Cratosmylidae, closely related to Nymphidae and together with the Cretaceous Babinskaiidae form the epifamily Nymphidoidae (see Makarkin et al 2018, fig.…”

A new genus and new species of Nymphidae (Neuroptera) is described from the Ypresian Okanagan Highlands locality of Falkland, British Columbia, Canada: Epinesydrion falklandensisnew genus, new species. This is only the fourth known Cenozoic adult specimen, and all others are less complete. It is the second specimen from the Okanagan Highlands. Currently Nymphidae has two recognised subfamilies. All Cenozoic fossils are confident members of the Nymphinae, but the subfamily assignments of almost all Mesozoic genera are problematic. The Late Cretaceous Dactylomyius is the only genus that might belong to Myiodactylinae. The rest may belong to the undefined stem groups of the family or to the Nymphinae, with varying levels of probability. Mesonymphes sibirica is transferred to Nymphites Haase: N. sibiricus (Ponomarenko), new combination; Sialium minor to Spilonymphes Shi, Winterton, and Ren: Spilonymphes minor (Shi, Winterton, and Ren), new combination; “Mesonymphes” apicalis does not belong to Mesonymphes Carpenter and may not even belong to the Nymphidae. The fossil record of the family occurs across much of the globe, but today they are restricted to Australia, New Guinea, and possibly the Philippines. Modern Nymphinae is only found in Australia. This may result from a requirement of frost-free climates, which were more widespread in the past.

“…The division of the extant representatives of the family into eight subfamilies, including Eidoporisminae, Gumillinae, Kempyninae, Osmylinae, Porisminae, Protosmylinae, Spilosmylinae and Stenosmylinae, is far more stable, with each subfamily relatively easily diagnosable (Krüger 1912–1915b; New 1989). The extinct subfamily (Mesosmylininae) comprising at least seven genera is known from Late Triassic to Mid Cretaceous aged deposits (e.g., Jepson et al 2009, 2012; Khramov 2014), while another extinct subfamily Cratosmylinae, containing the single species Cratosmylus Myskowiak, is known from Brazilian Cretaceous aged deposits (Myskowiak et al 2015). Finally, the extinct subfamily, Epiosmylinae, is considered a junior synonym of Gumillinae (Lambkin 1988; Wang et al 2009; Khramov 2014).…”

Revision of the genus Gryposmylus Krüger, 1913 (Neuroptera, Osmylidae) with a remarkable example of convergence in wing disruptive patterning

The charismatic lance lacewing genus Gryposmylus Krüger, 1913 (Osmylidae: Protosmylinae) from South East Asia is revised with a new species (Gryposmylus pennyi sp. n.) described from Malaysia. The genus is diagnosed and both species in the genus redescribed and figured. An extraordinary example of morphological convergence is presented, with disruptive camouflaging wing markings in Gryposmylus pennyi sp. n. being remarkably similar to the South American green lacewing Vieira leschenaulti Navás (Chrysopidae).
