Diagnosis

Lacewing of the group Ankyloleon . Posterior region of the abdomen shorter than anterior part of abdomen. Most posterior region simply rounded. Head and prothorax with prominent socketed dolichaster-like setae.

Type material

Holotype MYANMAR • PED 2038. Locality and horizon Northern Myanmar, Kachin region, Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian).

Differential diagnosis

The new species differs in several relative lengths from A. caudatus . The head of the new species is wider, as is the anterior part of the abdomen. The posterior tail-like region of the abdomen is shorter than in A. caudatus . Also the setation differs: the new species has strongly socketed dolichaster-like setae; the setae in A. caudatus also have sockets, but not reaching that far distally. Setae in A. caudatus are prominent but simple, tapering distally, not being dolichoaster-like. At the posterior abdomen, A. caudatus has very long and prominent setae; the new species has rather short setae in this region.
