Nymphs of a new family Neazoniidae fam. n. (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Fulgoroidea) from the Lower Cretaceous Lebanese amber
SZWEDO, J.

New species of extinct Fulgoroidea from the Lower Cretaceous Lebanese amber, Neazonia tripleta sp. n., Neazonia immatura sp. n., and Neazonia imprinta sp. n., are described as members of a new genus Neazonia gen. n. Descriptions are based on a IIIrd instar nymph, the exuvium of a Vth instar nymph and a cast in amber of a probable IIIrd instar nymph. The new extinct family Neazoniidae fam. n. is established for these fossils. Morphological characters and their importance in reconstructing evolutionary patterns of Fulgoroidea are discussed.
