Ciconipteryx Schall, Cao & Husemann, 2025, gen. nov.

GenusCiconipteryxgen. nov. Type species. Ciconipteryx bidactylus sp. nov. Etymology. The new genus is named after its long legs. Ciconi- is derived from the bird family Ciconiidae, the storks. Diagnosis. Very small body. Interocular distance larger than width of compound eye. Protibia with two dactyls. Mesothoracic leg longer than body (head to abdominal apex) and very slender along entire length (femur and tibia not much wider than tarsus). Metafemur as long as body. Forewings present, four to five veins visible. Cercus somewhat longer than paraproctal lobes. Both structures setulose; setae more prominent on paraproctal lobes. Valves of ovipositor visible, much shorter than paraproctal lobes.
