Drepanacra binocula, known as the Australian variable lacewing, is a species of brown lacewing in the family Hemerobiidae,^[8]^[9] found across Australia and New Zealand, including Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island and the Kermadec Islands.^[10]

Description

Australian variable lacewings are typically found in colonies of the insects they prey on.^[11] It has been seen feeding on a variety of hosts, including Psyllidae, spruce aphids, pine aphids, whiteflies, Eriosoma lanigerum and Trioza vitreoradiata.^[12]^[11] Drepanacra binocula can be identified by the distinctive shape and brown colour of its wings.^[11]

The species has been established in New Zealand since at least 1930.^[12] Drepanacra binocula is host to a parasitic wasp, the Lacewing Parasitoid Wasp Anacharis zealandica.^[11]
