0391BE7B657F862EFF4CDE15FB5CFE8D.taxon	discussion	Comments. Aside from the nominal species, only three species included in the current definition of Apochrysa (sensu Winterton & Brooks, 2002) were originally described in the genus (i. e., A. evanida, A. matsumurae and A. wagneri). Indeed, most were originally described in monotypic genera. Multiple authors identified distinct similarities amongst the collection of apochrysine species included here, some noting possible synonymies (e. g., Banks, 1931; Kimmins, 1952; Hölzel, 1992; Winterton, 1995). Indeed, using a phylogenetic framework, Winterton & Brooks (2002) formally synonymized Anapochrysa, Lauraya, Nacaura, Oligochrysa and Synthochrysa with Apochrysa, which continues the basis for the genus delimited here. Winterton (2006) also described an abnormally developed specimen of A. lutea, exhibiting significant irregularly formed variation in venation between the left and right pairs of wings, yet not apparently with any affects on flight ability. Winterton & Brooks (2002) suggested that considerable variation existed in the wing venation in the revised concept of Apochrysa, but we find that this variation may be overstated (the rare developmental abnormality described by Winterton (2006) in A. lutea notwithstanding), and quite within the expected variation found in other apochrysine and Chrysopidae genera. They found that several characteristics united the species of the genus, including the ‘ psc’ not extending beyond 2 / 3 of the total wing length towards the apex. Other characters which easily differentiate Apochrysa from other apochrysine genera include the wings being generally narrower and venation is relatively more open (fewer cross-veins), and that there are no cross-veins between RA and RP behind the pterostigma. Terminalia and internal genitalic features of Apochrysa are highly simplified compared with other chrysopids and remarkably uniform throughout the genus. Indeed, throughout Apochrysinae the genitalia are highly simplified and uniform and are of little taxonomic value (Brooks & Barnard, 1990; Hölzel, 1996; Winterton, 1995). The only exception is A. leptalea, where the male genitalia appear to be very different to other Apochrysinae (see Brooks & Barnard, 1990: fig. 34). Apochrysa typically inhabit relatively humid closed-forest habitats (Tjeder, 1966; Tsukaguchi, 1995; Winterton, 1995, 2006) presumably due to the adults being poor fliers. Larvae are known for A. matsumurae, A. voeltzkowi and A. evanida (Fig. 3); in all cases they are recorded as trash carriers with large packets of white sternorrhynchan flocculence (e. g. Tsukaguchi, 1995; Tauber 2014). Tauber (2014) provided a detailed description of A. voeltzkowi along with detailed discussion of characters of taxonomic significance. Included species.

0391BE7B657A862CFF4CDD4CFE9DFE39.taxon	discussion	Comments. All species of Apochrysa are well circumscribed morphologically and frequently distributed in non-overlapping geographical regions. Still, A. evanida has remained enigmatic, firstly in regard to its morphological differentiation from other Apochrysa species, and secondly, through doubts expressed by various authors over the accuracy of the type locality and thus its actual geographic distribution (Weele, 1909; Banks, 1931; Kimmins, 1952). Apochrysa evanida was described by Gerstaecker (1893) based on a single specimen with a type locality being ‘ Preanger Javae meridionalis’. In Weele’s (1909) treatment of Neuroptera and Mecoptera from the Dutch East Indies, he examined the type specimen of A. evanida located in the collection of the Greifswald Museum (Zoological Institute and Museum, University of Greifswald, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany). He stated that he doubted the collection locality (as South West Java) as he observed another specimen in the collection from Australia, thus inferring that the type of A. evanida was erroneously labelled as Java (Indonesia) instead of nearby Australia. It is not clear that the specimen from Australia he observed was indeed A. evanida and no material has ever been documented as being collected in Australia despite the suggestion that it might be there (Weele, 1909; Kimmins, 1940; New, 1980; Winterton, 1995). Recently, specimens of A. evanida were reared from rugose spiralling white flies (Aleurodicus rugioperculatus Martin, 2004) on coconut in southern India (Gupta, unpublished data). These new records show that the distribution of the species is wider than previously expected and that the type locality appears correct. Wider surveys throughout South East Asia, east through the Indonesian archipelago towards Papua New Guinea and northern Australia, could indeed prove the existence of this species throughout the broader Melanesian region.	en	Winterton, Shaun L., Gupta, Ankita (2020): Review of the green lacewing genus Apochrysa Schneider (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae).

Apochrysa leptalea is in the group of Afrotropical species characterised by a hind wing with the inner-most gradate series arranged in a sigmoid shape with a distinct ovoid marking mid way along the gradates, and the posterodistal margin having suffuse infuscate shading. These characters, along with the presence of three gradate series in both wings differentiates A. leptalea from other Apochrysa species. Apochrysa leptalea is known from southern South Africa. The holotype of H. leptalea is housed in the Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique — Bruxelles. The type of O. picteti is listed by Navás as “ Cabo de Buena Esperanza ”.	en	Winterton, Shaun L., Gupta, Ankita (2020): Review of the green lacewing genus Apochrysa Schneider (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae).

0391BE7B657B8623FF4CDD3CFBF0FEF5.taxon	discussion	Comments. Apochrysa lutea is found throughout eastern coastal Australia. Distinctive characters of this species include the presence of only two gradate series and lack of irregular RP cross-veins basally in both wings, as well as the relatively broad costal area in the forewing. Winterton (2006) (Fig. 12) described the occurrence of a female A. lutea with apparently malformed, aberrant wing venation where the cross-veins were highly irregular and not symmetrical. This phenomenon appears to be rare and has not been recorded in other chrysopids. The holotype specimens of both names are housed in the Natural History Museum, London.	en	Winterton, Shaun L., Gupta, Ankita (2020): Review of the green lacewing genus Apochrysa Schneider (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae).

0391BE7B65748621FF4CDEABFA9BFE8D.taxon	discussion	Comments. The numerous irregular cross-veins in the forewing are diagnostic for this species. This gives the impression of only a single gradate series in the forewing as the inner gradate series is obscured by surrounding irregular cross-veins. Also diagnostic is the presence of occasional interlinking of RA-RP cross-veins, although these can be relatively few in number. Apochrysa matsumurae is widely distributed throughout Japan, China, Taiwan and India (Assam). Tsukaguchi (1995) described the larva for this species. The lectotype of A. matsumurae is housed in the Hokkaido University, Entomological Institute, while the location of the type of A. minimoana is unknown.	en	Winterton, Shaun L., Gupta, Ankita (2020): Review of the green lacewing genus Apochrysa Schneider (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae).

Girard (1862) originally described the species based on a manuscript name Hemerobius stigma, but indicates that there could be confusion with the Hemerobius stigmaticus Rambur, and suggests that H. montrouzieri would be a more appropriate name. Since the name is preoccupied by Hemerobius stigma Stephens (1836), Kimmins (1936) states that the latter name (H. montrouzieri Girard, 1862) should be adopted. Apochrysa montrouzieri is recorded from New Caledonia. The location of types of both H. stigma and H. montrouzieri is unknown.	en	Winterton, Shaun L., Gupta, Ankita (2020): Review of the green lacewing genus Apochrysa Schneider (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae).

0391BE7B65778627FF4CDE16FD69FE38.taxon	discussion	Comments. Winterton (1995) described this species as a separate monotypic genus (Lauraya) as it did not easily fit within any other of the rather narrowly defined Apochrysinae genera at that time. With the subsequent broadening of the generic concepts based on a phylogenetic framework (Winterton & Brooks, 2002) a number of genera, including Lauraya, were synonymised with Apochrysa. Apochrysa retivenosa is more similar in wing venation to A. cognata and A. salomonis than to the other Australian species (A. lutea). It is differentiated from other Apochrysa species based on the presence of two gradate series in both wings, and irregular cross-veins in the basal part of the forewing. While A. lutea is relatively common throughout central and northern parts of Eastern Australia, A. retivenosa has been rarely collected and is apparently restricted to Far Northern Queensland. The holotype specimen is housed in the Queensland Museum, Brisbane.	en	Winterton, Shaun L., Gupta, Ankita (2020): Review of the green lacewing genus Apochrysa Schneider (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae).

Apochrysa salomonis is similar to the other Oceania species, A. cognata and A. montrouzieri; these were previously placed together with A. evanida in the genus Synthochrysa. Kimmins (1951) originally placed this species in Nobilinus. Apochrysa salomonis can be distinguished from other members of the genus by the dark, round spots on the inner gradate series of both wings, as well as three gradate series in the forewing and two gradate series in the hind wing. Apochrysa salomonis is known from Guadacanal, Solomon Islands.

Apochrysa voeltzkowi is an Afrotropical species similar to A. leptalea and A. wagneri, with all three being characterised by the hind wing with the inner-most gradate series arranged in a recurved sigmoid shape with a distinct ovoid marking midway, and the posterodistal margin with suffuse infuscate shading. The presence of only two gradate series in both wings and lack of additional irregular cross-veins amongst the RP branches differentiates A. voeltzkowi from A. leptalea and A. wagneri.

0391BE7B65728624FF4CDE05FE81FE45.taxon	discussion	Comments. As mentioned previously, A. wagneri is in the group of Afrotropical species all characterised by a hind wing with the inner-most gradate series arranged in a sigmoid shape with a distinct ovoid marking mid way, as well as the posterodistal margin of the hind wing with suffuse infuscate shading. Apochrysa wagneri is very similar to A. leptalea, and is only differentiated by the presence of two gradates series in the hind wing, while A. leptalea has three. Apochrysa wagneri is known from Rwanda. The holotype specimen is housed in the National Collection of Insects, Pretoria.	en	Winterton, Shaun L., Gupta, Ankita (2020): Review of the green lacewing genus Apochrysa Schneider (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae).
