Abstract Makarkinia irmae sp. nov. (Neuroptera, Kalligrammatidae) is described for the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation of Brazil, based on a well preserved hind wing. This is the third Kalligrammatidae species known from the Crato Formation and for the entire Gondwana. The systematic position of the genus Makarkinia is discussed in the framework provided by recent phylogenetic studies of the Kalligrammatidae, and the genus is placed in the subfamily Kalligrammatinae. The issue of the parallel evolution between the group and the Lepidoptera is revisited and critically evaluated.

来自巴西下白垩统克拉托组的显着灭绝家族金翅目（昆虫纲：神经翅目）的一个新巨型物种

摘要 Makarkinia irmae sp。十一月 (Neuroptera, Kalligrammatidae) 被描述为巴西的下白垩统克拉托组，基于保存完好的后翅。这是从克拉托地层和整个冈瓦纳大陆已知的第三种 Kalligrammatidae 物种。Makarkinia 属的系统位置在最近对 Kalligrammatidae 的系统发育研究提供的框架中进行了讨论，并且该属被置于 Kalligrammatinae 亚科中。重新审视并批判性地评估了该类群与鳞翅目之间平行进化的问题。
