Zachobiella gen. nov. 



A hemerobiid; no recurrent vein, two radial sectors; medius and 

 cubitus not approximated, but as wide apart as are other veins, two 

 short series of gradates. In hind wings one radial sector, several 

 branched, and two cross-veins. Head much as in Micromus, but the 

 vertex more sloping; hind tibiae fusiform. In appearance like a 

 narrow-winged Micromus, with reduced venation, but the separated 

 median and cubitus quite different. The forked cubitus separates it 

 from Xeurorthus, to which it is not very closely allied.
