“…We assume that the veins are fused but not the individual tracheae, as in all other taxa where this character is present. The costal crossveins can be forked, based on the wing images of Montserrat and Gavira (2014) (fig. 10B) we can assume that the actual venation does not vary from the apparent venation.…”

The wings of insects are one of their most prominent features and embody numerous characters and modifications congruent with the variety of their lifestyles. However, despite their evolutionary relevance, homology statements and nomenclature of wing structures remain understudied and sometimes confusing. Early studies on wing venation homologies often assumed Neuropterida (the superorder comprising the orders Raphidioptera, Megaloptera, and Neuroptera: snakeflies, alderflies and dobsonflies, and lacewings) to be ancient among Pterygota, and therefore relied on their pattern of venation for determining groundplans for insect wing venation schemata and those assumptions reciprocally influenced the interpretation of lacewing wings. However, Neuropterida are in fact derived among flying insects and thus a reconsideration of their wings is crucial. The identification of the actual wing venation of Neuropterida is rendered difficult by fusions and losses, but these features provide systematic and taxonomically informative characters for the classification of the different clades within the group. In the present study, we review the homology statements of wing venation among Neuropterida, with an emphasis on Chrysopidae (green lacewings), the family in which the highest degree of vein fusion is manifest. The wing venation of each order is reviewed according to tracheation, and colored schemata of the actual wing venation are provided as well as detailed illustrations of the tracheation in select families. According to the results of our study of vein tracheation, new homology statements and a revised nomenclature for veins and cells are proposed.

“…All over the world this family comprises 19 extant species belonging to four genera. They are distributed in warm-temperate or subtropical regions, namely in the Mediterranean region, with the genus Nevrorthus (Monserrat & Gavira 2014), in South Asia with the genera Nippo neurorthus and Sinoneurorthus (Liu et al 2012(Liu et al , 2014, and in southeast Australia with Austro neurorthus (aspöck 2004). In addition, nine fossil species belonging to five extinct genera of Nevrorthidae are reported from the Eocene Baltic amber.…”
