These papers carry on from the April 2016 post up until the present (DATE)*. There are many interesting papers here including phylogenetic work, which includes fossil material, and many descriptions of new taxa from the Eocene and Mesozoic. A number of these new taxa are from the Cretaceous Burmese amber, where some interesting and often strange neuropterans have been described.
