Apertochrysa

Apertochrysa is a genus of green lacewings in the family Chrysopidae. There are 183 described species in the genus.

Taxonomy

This genus was originally described in 1990 by Xing-ke Yang and Chi-kun Yang under the name of Navasius. The name was a junior homonym of Navasius Esben-Petersen, 1936, a species of antlion, so a replacement name of Dichochrysa was proposed by Yang in 1991. However, a ruling by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature instead maintained priority of the name Pseudomallada Tsukaguchi, 1995, thereby renaming the species previously described under the name of Dichochrysa. Further taxonomic work in 2021 by Breitkreuz, Duelli, and Oswald synonymized those genera under Apertochrysa Tjeder, 1966.

Distribution

Apertochrysa is a subcosmopolitan genus. The majority of species are known from the Palearctic region, particularly from the continents of Asia and Africa.
