Familia: Baryshnyalidae
Name
Baryshnyala Ilger & Brauckmann, 2011 gen. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Type (and only known) species
Baryshnyala occulta gen. et sp. n., original designation.
Diagnosis
Very small (length <10 mm) and compact wing with well rounded apex. The venation pattern shows a combination of the following unique characters: (i) RP– branches far before reaching the mid-wing, (ii) well pronounced cubito-median fold, (iii) CuP1– very strongly convex, (iv) posterior branches of MP– and CuA+ curved backwards (strongly convex), (v) no archedictyon but a number of cross-veins mainly in distal half of the wing.
Remarks
Despite the small size of the wing the regular shape precludes that it is a nymphal wing as it shows no kind of a typical strong backward flexion.
Etymology
The genus name is a combination of the Russian “baryshnya“ for young, unmarried woman and Latin “ala” for wing; gender feminine.
