A92387DBFA52FF98FEC3FF7AFDA3F978.taxon	etymology	ETYMOLOGY. — From ‘ Carentonia ’, the Latin name for the Charente River and Charentes region from which the type specimen originates, and Symphrasites (a generic name of fossil Symphrasinae), in reference to the origin of the specimen and its systematic placement. The gender is masculine.	en	Jouault, Corentin, Liu, Xingyue, Perrichot, Vincent (2026): The first Symphrasinae (Neuroptera: Mantispidae) from Cretaceous Charentese amber (France).

A92387DBFA52FF98FEC3FF7AFDA3F978.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS. — The new genus is characterized by the following characters: 1) fore femur anteroventral row complete with at least 14 stinger-shaped setae; 2) posteroventral row of processes reduced in apical portion, one primary process present plus at least five stinger-shaped setae; 3) fore tibia setose (vs glabrous in Anchieta); 4) fore wing ScP not fused with C (vs fused with C in Haplosymphrasites); 5) at least three ra-rp crossveins present in fore wing and two in hind wing; 6) most RP branches without marginal forks (vs many marginal forks present in Plega and Trichoscelia); 7) presence of 3 - 5 trichosors between neighbouring veins on distal margin of wing (similar to other crown group members of Symphrasinae); and 8) hind wing with 1 r-m not distally connected to M stem by a short cross vein (vs connected in Trichoscelia)	en	Jouault, Corentin, Liu, Xingyue, Perrichot, Vincent (2026): The first Symphrasinae (Neuroptera: Mantispidae) from Cretaceous Charentese amber (France).

A92387DBFA52FF98FEC3FF7AFDA3F978.taxon	discussion	REMARKS The new genus differs from most fossil genera of Symphrasinae by the presence of 3 - 5 trichosors between neighbouring veins on distal margin of wings. The only fossil symphrasine with a similar arrangement of trichosors is Haplosymphrasites from the mid-Cretaceous of Myanmar (Lu et al. 2020). Unfortunately, the fore legs of the holotype of Haplosymphrasites zouae Lu, Wang, Zhang, Ohl, Engel & Liu, 2020 are not preserved, making direct comparison with Carentosymphrasites n. gen. impossible (Lu et al. 2020). Nevertheless, the wing characters, i. e., the configuration of fore wing ScP, and the number of radial crossveins, provide sufficient evidence to distinguish these two Cretaceous genera. Additionally, the genitalia of the holotype of Carentosymphrasites n. gen. are missing, which hinders more detailed comparisons with other crown group members of Symphrasinae, although the above-outlined wing and fore leg characters can be used to distinguish the new genus from those three extant genera. Due to the obscured condition of the amber piece encasing Carentosymphrasites n. gen., it is also impossible to confirm the presence or absence of tubercle-shaped processes (sensu Ardila-Camacho et al. 2024) on the posteroventral processes row.	en	Jouault, Corentin, Liu, Xingyue, Perrichot, Vincent (2026): The first Symphrasinae (Neuroptera: Mantispidae) from Cretaceous Charentese amber (France).
