Gryposmylus Krüger, 1913a

( Figs 27–30 )

Type species. Chrysopa pubicosta Walker,1860: 183 (by original designation).

Diagnosis. Three ocelli present; antennae less than FW length; wings ovoid, hyaline with dark markings; FW costal margin relatively broad basally, subcostal veinlets simple with occasional irregular forking, basal 6-7 veinlets arranged sub-radially; FW RP stem short, RP1 originating at, or after fork, of M vein; both wings with two distinct gradate series divergent in orientation; FW with CuA with fewer branches than CuP.

Comments. Gryposmylus is closely related to Lysmus ( Winterton et al., 2017) and differs only slightly in wing features such as the shape of the costal area and the orientation of the gradate series; the shape and orientation of the basal subcostal veinlets appears to be diagnostic for the genus. Winterton & Wang (2016) recently revised the genus, describing a second species.

Included species.

G. pennyi Winterton & Wang, 2016 ( Vietnam, China, Malaysia)

G. pubicosta ( Walker, 1860) ( India, Malaysia)
