Abstract

A new extinct species, Karenina cuneiformis sp. nov. (Neuroptera: Mesochrysopidae) is described from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation of northeastern Brazil. This new species is similar to K. borschukewitzi (Nel et al., 2005) and K. longicollisMakarkin & Menon, 2005, but differs from those by wing venation and possesses an apparently stout, cuneiform humeral veinlet in the forewing.
