The brown lacewing genus Notiobiella (Neuroptera : Hemerobiidae) from Dominican amber Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Notiobiella thaumasta, new species, is described from four specimens preserved in Dominican amber. Probably of mid to early Miocene age, this species appears to be closely related to the extant Notiobiella species (particularly israeli) that currently occupy Cuba, Hispaniola and the adjacent Central and South American mainland. The specimens reported here are the first hemerobiids to be described in detail from New World amber and are the first reported fossils of the genus Notiobiella.
