First records of the antlion genus Solter Navás from southern Africa, with description of a new species (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae: Myrmecaelurini).
A new species of Solter Navás is described from South Africa, representing the first record of this genus from Africa south of the equator. This is a significant extension to the known distribution range of this predominantly Palaearctic genus. The species described here is characteristically reddish brown with a banded abdomen, and was recorded at three localities in arid rocky areas in the N...
متن کاملLarval morphology of the antlion Myrmecaelurus trigrammus (Pallas, 1771) (Neuroptera, Myrmeleontidae), with notes on larval biology.
Morphology and behaviour of third instar larvae of the Holomediterranean antlion species Myrmecaelurus trigranunus (Pallas) are described. Larvae are facultative pit-builders, they either ambush their prey at the surface, or dig pitfall traps that prey fall in to. Dark brown spots on dorsal and ventral sides of the head and on dorsal side of the thorax are characteristic of the larvae. Eye tube...
متن کاملThe First Mitochondrial Genomes of Antlion (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae) and Split-footed Lacewing (Neuroptera: Nymphidae), with Phylogenetic Implications of Myrmeleontiformia
In the holometabolous insect order Neuroptera (lacewings), the cosmopolitan Myrmeleontidae (antlions) are the most species-rich family, while the closely related Nymphidae (split-footed lacewings) are a small endemic family from the Australian-Malesian region. Both families belong to the suborder Myrmeleontiformia, within which controversial hypotheses on the interfamilial phylogenetic relation...
متن کاملThe larva of Tricholeon relictus Hölzel & Monserrat, 2002 a synanthropic antlion (Neuroptera, Myrmeleontidae).
The larva of Tricholeon relictus, a Spanish endemic antlion of Afrotropical affinities, is described and illustrated for the first time also providing a comparison with the only other European member of the tribe Dendroleontini, Dendroleon pantherinus. The larva of this species is synanthropic but probably originally lived in cave-like habitats.
متن کاملElliptic Fourier Analysis of the Wing Outline Shape of Five Species of Antlion (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae: Myrmeleontini)
Qing-Bin Zhan and Xin-Li Wang (2012) Elliptic Fourier analysis of the wing outline shape of five species of antlion (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae: Myrmeleontini). Zoological Studies 51(3): 399-405. We analyzed interspecific wing outline shape variations of 5 species of antlion: Myrmeleon bore (Tjeder, 1941), M. immanis Walker, 1853, M. fuscus Yang, 1999, Euroleon coreanus Okamoto, 1926, and E. fl...
