New fossil Sisyridae and Nevrorthidae (Insecta: Neuroptera) from Eocene Baltic amber and Upper Miocene of France

N/A

A new species of Sisyra is described but not named from the Upper Miocene of France. The study of a new find of Rophalis relicta Hagen, 1856 from Baltic amber (Upper Eocene) shows that it is not a sisyrid but a nevrorthid; however, the genital apparatus of the genus Rophalis is atypical of this family compared with Recent genera.
