Examples

“Some of the Australian specimens are classified with the psychopsids (family Psychopsidae), an alder fly⟳ group occurring solely in Australia, where it is known as the silky lace-wing due to the brilliantly colored wings and the long, silky hair.”

“As will be repeatedly seen in many Neuroptera families, psychopsids had a wider distribution during the Mesozoic and Tertiary.”

“While many fossil psychopsids were recorded from the Mesozoic, few representatives have⟳ been described from the Tertiary.”
