03ECCE09FFF9FFACFF45B434FEC2CF1F.taxon	etymology	Etymology. From Latin, maculae = spotty, referring to many spots on the vertex	en	Zhao, Yang, Yan, Bingzhen, Liu, Zhiqi (2013): New species of Neuronema McLachlan, 1869 from China (Neuroptera, Hemerobiidae). Zootaxa 3710 (6): 557-564, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.3710.6.2
03ECCE09FFF9FFACFF45B434FEC2CF1F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This new species is similar to N. nyingchianum (Yang, 1981) in the forewing, but obviously different in the terminalia. In the male, the entoprocessus is relatively small in this new species, but quite developed in N. nyingchianum. The laterobaculum of parabaculum in N. nyingchianum is short and round in lateral view, while in the new species the laterobaculum is slender and incurved. In the female of this new species, the lateroprocessus is absent, while in N. nyingchianum the lateroprocessus is broad, stretching out from the middle of subgenitale.	en	Zhao, Yang, Yan, Bingzhen, Liu, Zhiqi (2013): New species of Neuronema McLachlan, 1869 from China (Neuroptera, Hemerobiidae).
