Genitalia 9 (Figs 314, 315). Praegenitale absent; subgenitale bilobed; spermatheca narrow; ventral impression very deep; vela large, straight; duct long, sinuous. Remarks. Anachrysa can be distinguished from subgenus Chrysopidia by the larger eyes, small brown stigmatic spot and straight radial cross- veins, which are sinuate in Chrysopidia In males of Anachrysa, gonosetae are absent but a tignum and gonapsis are present. In Chrysopidia gonosetae are present but a tignum and gonapsis are lacking. Despite these differences Anachrysa is clearly closely related to Chrysopidia because both groups share several synapomorphies such as the setose abdominal apex, rounded ectoprocts, elongate sternite 8+9 and long costal setae. Biology. Unknown. No insect remains were discovered in the gut contents of adults examined during this study. Subgenus CHRYSOPIDIA Navas Diagnosis. Adult. Medium-sized lacwings, fore wing (Fig. 316) 13-16 mm. Head unmarked or with red stripe on scape, gena, between scape and vertex. Head width : eye width = : 1; mandibles asymmetrical with small tooth on left mandible; antenna as long as or longer than fore wing; often marked red/brown basally. Pronotum slightly elongate; unmarked or with brown lateral spot or red median spot; mesonotum unmarked or with red lateral spot on prescutum; metanotum unmarked. Fore wing oval (length : breadth = :1); unmarked with gradat
