Antlions in Hungary: checklist and identification key (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae)
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an updated and annotated checklist of Myrmeleontidae (Neuroptera) Hungary. Currently 16 species with valid faunistical records are known; the presence Myrmeleon hyalinus Olivier, 1811, ignored by most authors, is confirmed, omission Synclisis baetica (Rambur, 1842) from Hungarian verified. An illustrated identification key given to present further 15 might potentially occur in Hungary

Chromosome numbers in antlions (Myrmeleontidae) and owlflies (Ascalaphidae) (Insecta, Neuroptera)
A short review of main cytogenetic features of insects belonging to the sister neuropteran families Myrmeleontidae (antlions) and Ascalaphidae (owlflies) is presented, with a particular focus on their chromosome numbers and sex chromosome systems. Diploid male chromosome numbers are listed for 37 species, 21 genera from 9 subfamilies of the antlions as well as for seven species and five genera ...

متن کاملLearning in a sedentary insect predator: antlions (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae) anticipate a long wait.
Pit-building antlions, the larvae of a winged adult insect, capture food by digging funnel-shaped pits in sand and then lying in wait, buried at the vertex, for prey to fall inside. The sedentary nature of this sit-and-wait predatory behaviour and, especially, antlions' innate ability to detect prey arrival, do not fit the typical profile of insects that possess learning capabilities. However, ...
متن کاملSpecialized Learning in Antlions (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae), Pit-Digging Predators, Shortens Vulnerable Larval Stage
Unique in the insect world for their extremely sedentary predatory behavior, pit-dwelling larval antlions dig pits, and then sit at the bottom and wait, sometimes for months, for prey to fall inside. This sedentary predation strategy, combined with their seemingly innate ability to detect approaching prey, make antlions unlikely candidates for learning. That is, although scientists have demonst...
متن کاملCytogenetic study on antlions (Neuroptera, Myrmeleontidae): first data on telomere structure and rDNA location
Myrmeleontidae, commonly known as "antlions", are the most diverse family of the insect order Neuroptera, with over 1700 described species (in 191 genera) of which 37 species (in 21 genera) have so far been studied in respect to standard karyotypes. In the present paper we provide first data on the occurrence of the "insect-type" telomeric repeat (TTAGG) n and location of 18S rDNA clusters in t...
