A phylogeny of the lacewing family N ymphidae based on morphology and DNA sequences is presented including representatives of all living genera and selected fossil genera. W idely distributed J urassic and C retaceous genera gave rise to recent taxa now restricted to A ustralasia. Two previously defined clades (i.e. N ymphinae and M yiodactylinae) were recovered and reflect the diverging adult and larval morphology of members of these two subfamilies. From C hinese C retaceous deposits, a new genus ( S pilonymphes gen. nov.) is described with one new species, as well as new species described in the genera B aissoleon M akarkin and S ialium W estwood.
