Jumping mechanisms in lacewings (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae and Hemerobiidae).
Lacewings launch themselves into the air by simultaneous propulsive movements of the middle and hind legs as revealed in video images captured at a rate of 1000 s(-1). These movements were powered largely by thoracic trochanteral depressor muscles but did not start from a particular preset position of these legs. Ridges on the lateral sides of the meso- and metathorax fluoresced bright blue whe...
متن کاملThe first fossil brown lacewing from the Miocene of the Tibetan Plateau (Neuroptera, Hemerobiidae)

متن کاملPhylogeny and biogeography of southern African spoon-winged lacewings (Neuroptera: Nemopteridae: Nemopterinae).
Nemopteridae are a charismatic family of lacewings characterised by uniquely extended hind wings. They are an ancient widespread group in the drier regions of the world. The family comprises two subfamilies, Crocinae (thread-wings) and Nemopterinae (spoon- and ribbon-wings). The present distribution of the family has been largely influenced by the vicariant events of plate tectonics, resulting ...
متن کاملPharmacophagy in green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae: Chrysopa spp.)?
Green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) are voracious predators of aphids and other small, soft-bodied insects and mites. Earlier, we identified (1R,2S,5R,8R)-iridodial from wild males of the goldeneyed lacewing, Chrysopa oculata Say, which is released from thousands of microscopic dermal glands on the abdominal sterna. Iridodial-baited traps attract C. oculata and other Chrysopa spp. males i...
متن کاملA new species of the brown lacewing genus Zachobiella Banks from China (Neuroptera, Hemerobiidae) with a key to species
The genus Zachobiella Banks, 1920 is reviewed and a new species Zachobiellayunanica sp. n. described from China. All species found in China are redescribed, and Zachobiellasubmarginata Esben-Petersen, 1929 is recorded from China for the first time. A key to the adults of Zachobiella is provided.
