In Ankylopteryx a pseudopenis is present and arcessus absent, and the entoprocessus are long and fused apically. Although Parankylopteryx is apparently closely related to Ankylopteryx, these differences indicate that the genera are suf- ficiently distantly related to regard them as separ- ate taxa. Biology. Unknown. Adults examined in this study did not have insect remains in their gut contents. Genus RETIPENNA Brooks Retipenna Brooks, 1986: 36. Type species: Chrysopa notata Navas, by original designation. Distribution. India, South East Asia. Eight species of Retipenna have been described. R. notata (Navas) is the most widespread, occupy- ing most of the generic range, the other species being apparently more localized. Diagnosis. Adult. Large lacewings, fore wing (Fig. 107) 15-21 mm; ground colour pale green. Head unmarked or with brown markings on gena, scape, vertex; palps elongate; galea long; man- dibles narrow, symmetrical without basal teeth; labrum emarginate; head width : eye width = :1; vertex slightly raised; antenna shorter than fore wing; flagellar segments about 3 times as long as broad; setae arranged in four rings. Pronotum unmarked or with brown lateral spots; dorsal setae long, pale; meso- and metanotum unmarked or with brown spots. Legs with long, pale setae; claws with basal dilation. Fore wing usually broad (length : breadth = : 1); unmarked or with dark suffusion on gradates, spot on dec; costal area narrow at base; costal setae long, inclined; Sc and R widely separated; Sc long; stigma unmar
