Abstract
Two new species of green lacewings from the Lower Cretaceous of China, Mesypochrysa binervis sp. nov. and Mesypochrysa pusilla sp. nov., are described. Both new species are assigned to the extinct Chrysopidae subfamily Limaiinae. Mesypochrysa represents the majority of Limaiinae, containing nearly 20 species from the Jurassic and Cretaceous. The two new species share more characters with the Cretaceous species of the genus, which are discussed in detail in this study. In addition, Mesypochrysa is compared briefly with the other genera of the subfamily.
