Allopteroneura burmana Lu, Zhang &amp; Liu sp. nov.</p><p>Diagnosis. The new genus is characterized by the following combination of characters: (1) forewing elongated, leaf-like with acuminated apex (shared with  Cratoneura,  Cratoalloneura and  Phylloleon gen. nov.; forewing relatively broader with rounded apical margin in other araripeneurine genera); (2) forewing costal space remarkably widened medially (shared with  Phylloleon gen. nov.; feebly and gradually widened in other araripeneurine genera); (3) elongate infra radial cell (shared with  Araripeneura,  Caririneura,  Cratoneura,  Cratoalloneura; short in other araripeneurine genera); (4) MA diverging from RP greatly distad basal radial cell, with seven radial crossveins present before origin of MA from RP þ MA (shared with  Cratoneura and  Caldasia, but with 5–10 radial crossveins in the former genus and over 10 in the latter genus; at or near basal radial cell in the other  Araripeneurinae genera, with less than five crossveins); (5) forewing MP 2 þ CuA branches distinctly zig-zagged, with many curving crossveins between stem and branches of MP 2 þ CuA (straight and lacking aforementioned curving crossveins in other araripeneurine genera).</p><p>Etymology. From allos (Greek, meaning ‘different’), pteros (Greek, meaning ‘wing’) and neuron (Greek, meaning ‘nerve’, being as a frequent suffix of the genus-group name of  Neuroptera). The name is an allusion to the abnormal wing shape of the species included in the genus. Gender feminine.</p><p>Remarks. The new genus belongs to  Araripeneurinae sensu lato based on the distally dilated antennae, the presence of elongate hypostigmal cell, and the absence of forewing presectorial crossveins. Furthermore, the new genus is placed in the tribe  Cratoalloneurini owing to the morphological similarity to  Cratoneura Martins-Neto and  Cratoalloneura Martins-Neto (Martins-Neto &amp; Vulcano 1989a; Martins-Neto 1992a, 1994), and these genera share the leaf-like wings and many wing venational characters according to the phylogenetic analysis. However,  Allopteroneura gen. nov. can be distinguished from  Cratoalloneura by the origin of forewing MA from RP þ MA distantly apart from the basal radial cell. The new genus also differs from  Cratoneura longissima, which is the type species of  Cratoneura, by the zig-zagged forewing MP 2 þ CuA branches and relatively long forewing CuP.</p><p>It is noteworthy that three species of  Cratoneura (i.e.  C. dividens,  C. minor and  C. pulchella) are distinguished from  C. longissima by having the zig-zagged forewing CuA branches and the relatively long forewing CuP (see Martins-Neto 1997, fig. 3A), both characters shared by  Allopteroneura gen. nov. Therefore, these three  Cratoneura species from the Lower Cretaceous of Brazil may belong to  Allopteroneura gen. nov. or be separated from  C. longissima as a distinct genus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C45F4E27551405FF153BDBFADCFD13	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Phylloleon elegans Lu, Wang &amp; Liu sp. nov.</p><p>Diagnosis. The new genus is characterized by the following combination of characters: (1) forewing leaf-like with acuminate apex (shared with  Cratoneura,  Cratoalloneura and  Allopteroneura gen. nov.; forewing broad with rounded apical margin in other araripeneurine genera); (2) forewing costal space remarkably widened medially (shared with  Allopteroneura gen. nov.; feebly and gradually widened in other araripeneurine genera); (3) short infra radial cell (shared with most araripeneurine genera except for  Allopteroneura gen. nov.,  Araripeneura,  Caririneura,  Cratoneura and  Cratoalloneura); (4) MA diverging from RP greatly distad basal radial cell and also distad wing midpoint, with 5–8 radial crossveins between basal radial cell and origin of MA from RP þ MA (not present in other araripeneurine genera); (5) initial branching point of forewing MP 2 þ CuA slightly distad diverging point of RP þ MA from R (shared with  Burmaneura,  Choromyrmeleon, and several araripeneurine genera, including  Cratopteryx, and  Paracaririneura; initial branching point of forewing MP 2 þ CuA not distad diverging point of RP þ MA from R in other araripeneurine genera); (6) 6–7 presectorial crossveins present in hind wing (shared with  Caririneura; only one present in  Burmaneura and  Nanoleon gen. nov., but absent in other araripeneurine genera).</p><p>Etymology. From phyllos (Greek, meaning ‘leaf’) and leon (Greek, meaning ‘lion’, being as a frequent suffix of the genus-group name of  Myrmeleontidae). An allusion to the leaf-like forewing. Gender neutral.</p><p>Remarks. Placement of the new genus in  Araripeneurinae sensu lato of  Myrmeleontidae is mainly based on the distally dilated antennae, the presence of elongate hypostigmal cell, and the absence of forewing presectorial crossveins. The new genus resembles the genera belonging to the tribe  Cratoalloneurini based on the elongated leaf-like wings and the wide costal space. However,  Phylloneura gen. nov. can be distinguished from the other genera of  Cratoalloneurini by the short forewing infra radial cell, the absence of the longitudinally directed outer gradate series of crossveins, the diverging point of forewing MP 2 þ CuA distad origin of RP þ MA, and the presence of 6–7 presectorial crossveins in hind wing. Notably, the new genus and  Paracaririneura from the Lower Cretaceous of Brazil shares the short forewing infra radial cell that is widely apart from basal radial cell and the forewing MP 2 þ CuA with initial branching point relatively distad the origin of RP þ MA, and it shares the presence of 6–7 hind wing presectorial crossveins with  Caririneura microcephala (also from the Lower Cretaceous of Brazil). However,  Phylloleon gen. nov. distinctly differs from the above taxa by the leaf-like forewings.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C45F4E27531403FF0B3AD9FAEBFEF3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

CuA and CuP diverging near wing base; MP 2 þ CuA pectinately branched from proximal 1/3, with seven branches, posterior three branches of MP 2 þ CuA1 distally bifurcated, while remaining MP 2 þ CuA1 branches simple, CuA2 deeply forked; CuP pectinately branched into nine simple branches. A1 short and zig-zagged, bifurcated from its midpoint into two simple branches, connected with CuP by two short crossveins; A 2 þ A3 short, bifurcated.</p><p>Hind wing strongly narrowed, nearly half of forewing width, with acuminate apex. Costal space narrow, about three times as wide as subcostal space, with 28 veinlets, most of which are simple. ScP and RA fused together and straightly running to wing margin slightly posteriad wing apex; subcostal crossveins absent. RP þ MA originating from midpoint of wing; five crossveins present in RA space; RP and MA diverging slightly distad basal radial cell; RP pectinately branched into seven branches, with posterior two branches distally forked.

The new species differs from the congeneric species  Phylloleon elegans by the forewing with less protruded apex and the strongly narrowed and acutely protruded hind wing. In the latter species, the forewing is slightly longer than hind wing, with apex much more protruded, and the hind wing is broad, nearly as wide as forewing. In addition,  P. stangei has much fewer forewing MP 2 þ CuA1 branches than  P. elegans .</p><p>Considering the strongly narrowed hind wing and the presence of six presectorial crossveins, the new species appears also similar to  Caririneura microcephala from the Lower Cretaceous of Brazil. However, the new species can be distinguished from  C. microcephala by the leaf-like forewing, with strongly broadened costal space and produced wing apex, and by the presence of more crossveins between RA and RP þ MA as well as between RP þ MA and MP 1 in the forewing.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C45F4E2751140FFF3D3D57FD37FDB0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The new genus is characterized by a series of combinational characters: (1) forewing RP þ MA diverging from RA well distad wing base (shared by  Burmaneura and pseudonymphine genera; near wing base in araripeneurinae genera); (2) one forewing presectorial crossvein present (forewing lacking presectorial crossveins in  Araripeneurinae and  Pseudonymphinae; forewing with three or more presectorial crossveins in other antlion subfamilies); (3) one hind wing presectorial crossvein present (shared by  Caririneura,  Burmaneura and many extant antlion species; absent in most species of  Araripeneurinae and  Pseudonymphinae); (4) initial branching point of forewing MP 2 þ CuA slightly distad diverging point of RP þ MA from RA (shared by  Burmaneura,  Choromyrmeleon, and the pseudonymphine genera, but almost at the same level in most araripeneurinae genera); (5) CuA2 short (shared by  Burmaneura,  Choromyrmeleon, the pseudonymphinae genera, and all extant antlions; long in  Araripeneurinae).</p><p>Etymology. From nanos (Greek, meaning ‘small’) and leon (Greek, meaning ‘lion’, being as a frequent suffix of the genus-group name of  Myrmeleontidae). An allusion to the small size of the species included in the genus. Gender neutral.</p><p>Remarks. The placement of  Nanoleon in  Myrmeleontidae is undoubted considering the short and clubbed antenna as well as the presence of presectorial crossveins in both wings, but the subfamilial affiliation of the new genus is still unclear. The presence of only one presectorial crossvein in both fore- and hind wings is rarely found in  Myrmeleontidae . The result of present phylogenetic analysis suggests its closer relationship with extant antlions. Notably, the new genus possesses the forewing CuP distally fused with A1, which is an important diagnostic character of the subfamily  Myrmeleontinae . However,  Nanoleon lacks the sensory hair on pro- and mesofemora, and it has relatively long pretarsal claws, apparently being different from the species of  Myrmeleontinae .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C45F4E275F140FFF2638E3FBBDFEDF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
