Even with the tiny body size, Coniopterygidae is the fourth largest group of Neuroptera. There are currently 23 genera and 560 species recorded in the world. They have a tiny-sized body, and their wings are covered with whitish wax powder and they are fairly well-known natural predators of small insects such as scale insects, aphids, and mites. Genus Cowentzia is one of the characteristic groups of Coniopteryginae; they have conspicuously reduced hind wings than other groups have. The genus contain about 14 species in the world. Here we present Conwentzia, a new genus record, with Conwentzia pineticola in Korea. We provide a brief description, photos of adult and male genitalia, and 16S rRNA sequence based the specimen examined.
