==Type and only species==
''{{Taxon name|Daonymphes bisulca}}'' sp. n.

==Diagnosis==
Forewing broad proximally <nowiki>[</nowiki>strongly narrowed proximally in ''{{Taxon name|Liminympha}}''<nowiki>]</nowiki>; vast majority of proximal subcostal veinlets forked <nowiki>[</nowiki>simple in all other Mesozoic genera<nowiki>]</nowiki>; crossveins between branches of MP absent <nowiki>[</nowiki>present in ''{{Taxon name|Nymphites}}'' Haase, 1890, ''{{Taxon name|Mesonymphes}}'' Carpenter, 1929<nowiki>]</nowiki>; CuP space broad, nearly two times as wide as intracubital space <nowiki>[</nowiki>nearly as wide as intracubital space in ''{{Taxon name|Liminympha}}''<nowiki>]</nowiki>.

==Etymology==
From Daohugou, the locality of the type species, and ''{{Taxon name|Nymphes}}'', a genus-group name. Gender: feminine.

==Remarks==
This genus is most closely related to four other Mesozoic genera (''{{Taxon name|Nymphites}}'', ''{{Taxon name|Mesonymphes}}'', ''{{Taxon name|Liminympha}}'' and ''{{Taxon name|Sialium}}'' Westwood, 1854) but clearly distinguished from these as indicated in the diagnosis. The latter genus is only known from single hind wing from the early Berriasian of Purbeck, England. In general, {{Taxon name|Nymphidae}} occur very rare in the Jurassic, only six specimens are known. The monotypic genera ''{{Taxon name|Liminympha}}'' (Middle Jurassic <nowiki>[</nowiki>Bathonian/Callovian<nowiki>]</nowiki> of Daohugou, China) and ''{{Taxon name|Mesonymphes}}'' (Late Jurassic <nowiki>[</nowiki>Tithonian<nowiki>]</nowiki> of Solnhofen, Germany) are represented by almost complete specimens possessing both fore- and hind wings. The type species of ''{{Taxon name|Nymphites}}'' from Solnhofen is represented by only two incomplete hind wings. Two species from Daohugou are assigned to this genus: one species (two specimens) have almost complete fore- and hind wings; the other only hind wings (Shi et al. in press<ref name="B72">{{aut|Shi C}}, {{aut|Makarkin V}}, {{aut|Yang Q}}, {{aut|Archibald S}}, {{aut|Ren D}} (in press) New species of ''Nymphites'' Haase (Neuroptera: Nymphidae) from the Middle Jurassic of China, with a redescription of the type species of the genus.
