(zoology) Any insect of the silky lacewing family, Psychopsidae..
Some of the Australian specimens are classified with the psychopsids (family Psychopsidae), an alder fly group occurring solely in Australia, where it is known as the silky lace-wing due to the brilliantly colored wings and the long, silky hair.
As will be repeatedly seen in many Neuroptera families, psychopsids had a wider distribution during the Mesozoic and Tertiary.
While many fossil psychopsids were recorded from the Mesozoic, few representatives have been described from the Tertiary.
Use psychopsid when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
