Babinskaiidae

Extinct family of insects From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Babinskaiidae is an extinct family of neuropterans known from the Cretaceous period of South America and Asia. They are part of the superfamily Myrmeleontoidea. Their distinguishing characters include: "long filiform antennae, narrowly elongated wings, with features such as trichosors, and presectorial cross veins present in both wings, and absence of forewing oblique vein".[1] They are considered transitional between Nymphidae and more derived myrmeleontodoids, such as antlions.[2]
