Two new genera of neotropical Chrysopini (Neuroptera : Chrysopidae)

Abstract

Two new genera and two new spec ies of Chrysopini (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) are described from Brazil. The main characteristics of Cryptochrysa chloros are: a sheath of long setae in the oral cavity; slender forewing; triangular intramedian cell; antennal scape longer than wide; and lines of strong setae ventral to the arcessus. Characteristics of Furcochrysa allata are: large gonocornua; presence of a pseudopenis; arcessus absent; and basal marginal vein of forewing forked.
