Apochrysa retivenosa ( Winterton, 1995 ) — Winterton & Brooks, 2002 . Common name . ‘Reticulated delicate lacewing’. Diagnosis . Forewing with small spot midway along inner gradate series, otherwise slight markings only along inner gradate series and distally on a RA-RP cross-vein, hind wing unmarked; both wings with two gradate series; forewing RA area with RA-RP cross-veins simple, lacking interconnecting cross-veins; basal half of fore wing with irregular cross-veins connecting RP branches, irregular cross-veins not present in hind wing; inner gradate series of hind wing only slightly curved, angled anteriorly at midpoint; end-twigging (forked veinlets) present along most of posterior margin of both wings. Comments . Winterton (1995) described this species as a separate monotypic genus ( Lauraya ) as it did not easily fit within any other of the rather narrowly defined Apochrysinae genera at that time. With the subsequent broadening of the generic concepts based on a phylogenetic framework ( Winterton & Brooks, 2002 ) a number of genera, including Lauraya , were synonymised with Apochrysa . Apochrysa retivenosa is more similar in wing venation to A. cognata and A. salomonis than to the other Australian species ( A. lutea ). It is differentiated from other Apochrysa species based on the presence of two gradate series in both wings, and irregular cross-veins in the basal part of the forewing. While A. lutea is relatively common throughout central and northern parts of Eastern Australia , A. retivenosa has been rarely collected and is apparently restricted to Far Northern Queensland . The holotype specimen is housed in the Queensland Museum, Brisbane.
