Abstract:
A new genus with a new species Kurtodipteromantispa zhuodei gen. et sp. nov. (Neuroptera: Dipteromantispidae) is de-scribed based on three specimens from late Cretaceous (earliest Cenomanian) Burmese amber. The new species is similar to Halteriomantispa Liu et al., 2016, while the former could be distinguished from the latter by these characters as follow: 1) forewing without pigmented spots; 2) distal portion of ScP distinctly curved at scp-ra, not smooth; 3) RP with at least one branch forked distally; 4) ectoprocts fused with tergum 9, and gonocoxites 9 nearly semicircular, apically without subtrian-gular projection. Additionally, female genitalia of the new genus are described and discussed.
