Abstract

A new and very unusual species of green lacewings, Ungla pseudomeleoma sp. nov. is described from Peru. Males of this species exhibit a remarkable example of generic-level homoplasy with Meleoma. Its abdominal and genitalic features are completely consistent with the genus Ungla. However, its external sexually dimorphic features resemble those of both Ungla and Meleoma. Females of the new species also express cranial modifications that resemble those of some female Meleoma species.

摘要

一种新的、非常独特的草蛉物种——Ungla pseudomeleoma sp. nov.在秘鲁被发现并被描述。该物种的雄性与Meleoma属表现出显著的属级别的同形现象。它的腹部和生殖器特征与Ungla属完全一致。然而，其外部的两性异形特征既类似于Ungla属，也类似于Meleoma属。新物种的雌性也表现出与一些Meleoma属雌性物种相似的头部形态变化。
