摘　　要：A new dustywing genus and species, namely Cretaconiopteryx grandis gen. ＆ sp. nov., from the mid-Cretaceous amber of Myanmar is herein described in the lacewing family Coniopterygidae. The new genus is distinguished from all other dustywing species by the combination of following morphological features： relatively large body-size, comparatively rich crossvenation, origin of RP＋MA near wing base in both fore-and hindwing, forewing RA and RP terminally fused into a loop, and proximally zig-zagged forewing Cu P. A new subfamily, Cretaconiopteryginae subfam. nov., is erected based on this spectacular new genus. The new subfamily might represent the basalmost lineage of known coniopterygids.A new dustywing genus and species, namely Cretaconiopteryx grandis gen. ＆ sp. nov., from the mid-Cretaceous amber of Myanmar is herein described in the lacewing family Coniopterygidae.
