Kymachrysa, 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.

| description | 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 gen. n. that contains the two species – Kymachrysa intacta (Navás), comb. n. and Kymachrysa placita (Banks), comb. n. Also, we present modifications for the current generic-level key, illustrations, as well as biological information for identifying the genus and its known species. |
