Abstract
Two new species of myrmeleontoid neuropterans are described from the Lower Cretaceous (Albian) of the Jinju formation (South Korea), Araripenymphes koreicus sp.nov. (Cratosmylidae) and Araripeneura asiatica sp.nov. (Araripeneuridae). This is the first Mesozoic record of Myrmeleontoidea from the Korean Peninsula. Genera Araripeneura Martins-Neto and Vulcano, 1989 and Araripenymphes Menon et al., 2005 have long been known only from the Lower Cretaceous of Brazil. Recently Araripenymphes was discovered in middle Cretaceous Burmese amber, which was considered as evidence for its Gondwanan origin. However, new records of these genera from the Lower Cretaceous of South Korea indicate that their distribution was in fact not Gondwanan, but cross-continental, contrary to initial suggestions.
期刊介绍：
Cretaceous Research provides a forum for the rapid publication of research on all aspects of the Cretaceous Period, including its boundaries with the Jurassic and Palaeogene. Authoritative papers reporting detailed investigations of Cretaceous stratigraphy and palaeontology, studies of regional geology, and reviews of recently published books are complemented by short communications of significant new findings.
Papers submitted to Cretaceous Research should place the research in a broad context, with emphasis placed towards our better understanding of the Cretaceous, that are therefore of interest to the diverse, international readership of the journal. Full length papers that focus solely on a local theme or area will not be accepted for publication; authors of short communications are encouraged to discuss how their findings are of relevance to the Cretaceous on a broad scale.
Research Areas include:
• Regional geology
• Stratigraphy and palaeontology
• Palaeobiology
• Palaeobiogeography
• Palaeoceanography
• Palaeoclimatology
• Evolutionary Palaeoecology
• Geochronology
• Global events.
