Abstract: The Neuropterida Species of the World (NSW) catalogue documents fundamental taxonomic, nomenclatural, distributional (geographic, chronostratigraphic, lithostratigraphic), and related information for extant and extinct Neuropterida species on a global scale. The catalogue forms one of the fundamental modules of the Lacewing Digital Library (LDL) web portal (http://lacewing.tamu.edu/). The Catalogue of Life dataset contains a restricted extract of NSW data that is focused on the taxonomy and nomenclature of extant and extinct neuropterid species, together with associated bibliographic information. For more complete information on neuropterid names and taxa, including extensive information on types, search the on-line version of the NSW at http://lacewing.tamu.edu/Species-Catalogue/scspeciescatalogue.cfm.
