Vieira Navás is a small genus of Neotropical green lacewings in the tribe Belonopterygini. Here, a fifth species, Vieira flinti sp. nov., is described from Venezuela and Brazil. This species shares significant features with disparate members of the genus; thus the genus as a whole is now known to express a more continuous range of morphological variation than previously recognized. We present a key for identifying Vieira species and new geographic records for previously described species in the genus.
维埃拉·纳瓦斯属是新热带区绿蛉科Belonopterygini族中的一个小属。在此,我们描述了来自委内瑞拉和巴西的第五个物种,即新物种弗林特氏维埃拉(Vieira flinti sp. nov.)。该物种与该属中不同成员具有显著特征;因此,现在已知整个属所表现出的形态变异范围比之前所认识到的更为连续。我们提供了一个识别维埃拉属物种的检索表以及该属中先前描述物种的新地理记录。
