Cretaceous debris-carrying chrysopoid larvae known (bearing tubular tubercles) and materials composing their packet of debris, if present. (a) Tyruschrysa melqart gen. et sp. nov. (second or third instar, Lebanese amber) (this report). (b) New genus and species not associated to packet remains (first instar, Lebanese amber), to be described elsewhere. (c) Hallucinochrysa diogenesi (second or third instar, Spanish amber). (d) Three morphotypes based on 12 specimens, briefly characterised but unnamed or undescribed (Burmese amber). Drawings not to the same scale. Debris packet materials associated to the fossil larvae (red letters): T ‒ trichomes, P ‒ other plant material, E ‒ exoskeletons, S ‒ soil particles.
