Abstract

Cretapsychops skywalkeri sp. nov., a new species of the family Psychopsidae (Neuroptera), is described from the Upper Jurassic of Karatau locality (Kazakhstan). This is the first record of Cretapsychops Jepson et al., 2009 from the Mesozoic of Central Asia; before now, this genus was only reported from the Lower Cretaceous of England and the Middle Jurassic of China. The forewings of the new species have a contrasting pattern of dark stripes, which probably served as disruptive coloration, reducing the risk of predation by insectivorous pterosaurs or coelurosaurs.
