New species identified in Lebanese amber highlights taxonomic details, suggesting deeper diversity in Neuroptera.
Libanoconis medialis sp. nov. from the Mdeyrij-Hammana outcrop of amber (Central Lebanon), is characterised, illustrated, described and its taxonomic position is discussed. Libanoconis medialis sp. nov. is the third coniopterygid from the Lebanese amber. The new species, as well as the reexamination of the holotype of L. fadiacra from Bkassine, Jezzine District, permits to clarify the presence of a trifurcate MP in the hind wing.
