Nymphes Leach 1814
Description
Genus Nymphes Leach, 1814
Type species. Nymphes myrmeleonoides Leach, 1814, by monotypy.
Amended diagnosis for characters of the wing (based on New 1982). Separated from other nymphid genera by the following combination of character states of its wing venation [comparative character states of other genera in brackets]: M simple or forked distad origin of Rs 1 in forewing [shared by Austronymphes Esben-Petersen, 1914, but forked much proximad origin of Rs 1 in other genera]; large enclosed cell between 2A, 3A in forewing absent [present in Austronymphes]; CuA space in forewing, MP space in hind wing large, of characteristic ‘myrmeleontid’ triangular shape, enclosed by distal portion of MP, basalmost branch of MP [shared by Austronymphes, but absent or reduced in all fossil genera]; crossveins between branches of CuP in forewing, CuA in hind wing present (except N. nigrescens) [this combination absent in other genera].
Included species. Nymphes georgei sp. nov. from the Ypresian of North America (Republic, Washington, U.S.A.); five extant species from Australia and Tasmania: N. myrmeleonoides, N. modesta Gerstaecker, 1885 b; N. paramyrmeleonides New, 1982; N. nigrescens New, 1982; N. aperta New, 1982.
Comments. The diagnosis provided here augments that of New (1982), which distinguishes general characters of the insect; here, we revise this with regards to wing characters.
