Wesmaelius mathewesi
''Wesmaelius mathewesi'' is an extinct species of lacewing in the neuropteran family Hemerobiidae known from an Eocene fossil found in North America
==History and classification==
''W. mathewesi'' is known from the solitary holotype specimen, number Q-0092, a single mostly complete forewing which was preserved as a compression-impression fossil preserved in shale. The fossil was recovered from outcrops of the Coldwater Formation in the Quilchena, British Columbia area by Rolf Mathewes in 1976.〔 The type specimen is currently preserved in the Department of Paleobiology collections housed at Simon Fraser University, located in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. ''W. mathewesi'' was first studied by Vladimir Makarkin of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, S. Bruce Archibald from Simon Fraser University and John D Oswald of Texas A&M University. Their 2003 type description of the new species was published in the journal ''The Canadian Entomologist''. Makarkin ''et al'' coined the specific epithet ''mathewesi'' in honor of Rolf Mathewes for his work on the paleontology of the Quilchena site.〔 At the time of the species description, ''Wesmaelius mathewesi'' was the most ancient member of Hemerobiinae and the first fossil species in the living genus ''Wesmaelius''. Placement of the new species into ''Wesmaelius'' is considered tentative, and based on the crossvein structuring and positioning.〔
