A new species of kalligrammatid lacewing is described and figured as Meioneurites spectabilis Engel n. sp. from the Jurassic of Karatau, Kazakhstan. The species is distinguished from all other Meioneurites species on the basis of wing venation and is the most completely preserved specimen of its genus and perhaps for the family. Owing to the dramatically expanded costal space and forked costal veinlets the species is placed in a separate subgenus, Parameioneurites Engel, n. subgen.
