Abstract

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Khramov, Alexander V. (2025): A new highly unusual genus of Nymphidae (Neuroptera) from the Upper Jurassic of Kazakhstan. Zootaxa 5715 (1): 199-203, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5715.1.17, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5715.1.17AbstractIphigensia storozhenkoi gen. et sp. nov. (Neuroptera: Nymphidae) is described from the Middle-Upper Jurassic of Kazakhstan based on an almost complete forewing. The Iphigensinae subfam. nov. is proposed to accommodate this genus, which is characterized by a unique venation pattern and presence of contra radial sector (Crs): this is an additional longitudinal vein, formed by the fusion of the proximal branches of RP, and unknown in both extant and other fossil lacewings. Discovery of Iphigensia gen. nov. with derived venation suggests that early radiation of Myrmeleontoidea was more extensive than previously thought.
