Nevromus

Nevromus is a genus of net-winged insects belonging to the family Nevrorthidae. These insects are found primarily in East Asia, including Japan, Korea, and parts of Russia.

Nevromus species are relatively small insects, typically with a wingspan of around 10-20mm. They are characterized by their delicate, net-like wings, from which the family derives its name. Adults are generally found near streams and other freshwater habitats.

The larvae of Nevromus are aquatic and predaceous, feeding on small invertebrates in the water. They possess specialized mouthparts adapted for piercing and sucking. Larval development typically takes place over a year or more, depending on the species and environmental conditions.

The genus Nevromus is of interest to entomologists studying the evolution and biogeography of Neuroptera (net-winged insects). Their relatively restricted distribution and primitive characteristics make them valuable for understanding the relationships between different neuropteran families. Research on Nevromus species contributes to our understanding of biodiversity and the ecological roles of aquatic insects.
