Adamsochrysa is an extinct neuropteran genus in the green lacewing family Chrysopidae which is solely known from Eocene sediments exposed in northwestern North America. The genus contains two described species, the type species Adamsochrysa aspera along with Adamsochrysa wilsoni. An additional three specimens have been provisionally placed into the genus as Adamsochrysa Sp. A, Adamsochrysa Sp. B, and Adamsochrysa indet. The genus is placed into the green lacewing subfamily Nothochrysinae and considered as probably closest in relation to the living Australian and Tasmanian genus Dictyochrysa.
