Chrysopinae is the nominate subfamily of green lacewings in the insect family Chrysopidae in the order Neuroptera. This subfamily is also the largest within the family and comprises about 60 genera. Members of the genus ''Chrysoperla'' and the genus ''Chrysopa'' in this subfamily are common in Europe and North America. Chrysopinae larvae are Predation, predatory and feed on aphids; some of these species have been used in biological pest control, as has the Australian ''Mallada signatus''. Genera The following genera are divided into four tribe (biology), tribes: Ankylopterygini Authority: Longinos Navás, Navas, 1910 # ''Ankylopteryx'' # ''Chrysopidia'' # ''Parankylopteryx'' # ''Retipenna'' # ''Semachrysa'' # ''Signochrysa'' Belonopterygini Authority: Navas, 1913 # ''Abachrysa'' # ''Belonopteryx'' # ''Calochrysa'' # ''Chrysacanthia'' # ''Chrysaloysia'' # ''Dysochrysa'' # ''Evanochrysa'' # ''Italochrysa'' # ''Nacarina'' # ''Nesochrysa'' # ''Nodochrysa'' # ''Oyoch ...

Green Lacewing
Green lacewings are insects in the large family Chrysopidae of the order Neuroptera. There are about 85 genera and (differing between sources) 1,300–2,000 species in this widespread group. Members of the genera '' Chrysopa'' and '' Chrysoperla'' are very common in North America and Europe; they are very similar and many of their species have been moved from one genus to the other time and again, and in the nonscientific literature assignment to ''Chrysopa'' and ''Chrysoperla'' can rarely be relied upon. Since they are the most familiar neuropterans to many people, they are often simply called " lacewings". Since most of the diversity of Neuroptera are properly referred to as some sort of "lacewing", common lacewings is preferable. Description and ecology Green lacewings are delicate insects with a wingspan of 6 to over 65 mm, though the largest forms are tropical. They are characterized by a wide costal field in their wing venation, which includes the cross-veins. The b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
