Babinskaiidae is an extinct family of neuropterans known from the Cretaceous period of South America and Asia. They are part of the superfamily Myrmeleontoidea. Their distinguishing characters include: "long filiform antennae, narrowly elongated wings, with features such as trichosors, and presectorial cross veins present in both wings, and absence of forewing oblique vein". ^[1] They are considered transitional between Nymphidae and more derived myrmeleontodoids, such as antlions. ^[2]
