Osmylidae is a small family of Neuroptera with worldwide distribution. Only four subfamilies and five genera have been reported to date for the Neotropical region, total 16 species, whilst 200 species are known in world. In this study three new described-Isostenosmylus bifurcatus n. sp., I. irroratus sp. julianae Moreover, Gumilla Navás, 1912 Paryphosmylus Krüger, 1913 redescribed; additionally one larva Isostenosmylus female fasciatus Kimmins, 1940 described. Images type specimens provided....
The family Sisyridae (spongillaflies) is a small group of neuropterans distributed in all Biogeographic realms (Cover & Resh 2008). As Nevrorthidae, distinguished among other Neuroptera families by their strictly aquatic larvae (Wichard et al. 2002). phylogenetic relationships have been controversial i.e. the was recovered at different positions within Neuropterida phylogeny as basal members or whitin suborder Hemerobiiformia with very variable placement (Randolf 2013). Currently species...
The Natural History Museum, London, houses of one the largest insect collections in world including several hundred specimens small lacewing family Osmylidae. Herein we provide complete label information, specimen condition, locality and habitus pictures Osmylidae primary types with some historical information about specimens.
The genera of the lance lacewing family Osmylidae (Neuroptera) and extinct allied families (Archeosmylidae, Saucrosmylidae) are reviewed. A key to living world is presented. Each genus diagnosed figured with a checklist species included for each. New, revised or support previous taxonomic changes include following: Nuddsia Menon & Makarkin, 2008 (= Burmaleon Myskowiak et al., 2016 syn. nov.); Kempynus Navás, 1912 Clydosmylus New 1983a Osmylus Latreille, 1802 Hyposmylus McLachlan;...
Recent studies on Osmylidae (Neuroptera) in South America have received significant attention, resulting the description of 12 new species last decade. This growing interest lance lacewings is closely linked with increase specimen collections across America, primarily conducted using Malaise traps. To address need for more diverse different locations and considering heightened this family, we present a new, effective, cost-efficient method sampling Osmylidae. Our approach utilizes McPhail...
Chloroniella Esben-Petersen is a relict, monotypic genus of Corydalidae (Megaloptera), considered sister to the remaining dobsonfly genera (Corydalinae); it only Corydalinae known from Afrotropical region. The larva its species, C. peryngueyi Esben-Petersen, 1924, was originally described by Barnard in 1931. Herein we redescribe using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), colored focus-stacked images, and drawings order provide greater morphological detail this significant species. Also,...
The unique Neotropical species of the alderfly genus Protosialis van der Weele, 1909, P. bifasciata (Hagen, 1861), is herein transferred to newly described Caribesialis gen. nov. This new taxon proposed be sister clade + Sialis Latreille, 1802, after a phylogenetic analysis that included male genital characters scored on previous morphological matrix family. Also, Ilyobius nigrocephalus sp. nov., remarkable from Ecuador, and its position discussed. Furthermore, bimaculatus (Banks, 1920)...
This survey presents an overall view of the order Neuroptera from Brazil. A total 432 valid extant species divided into ten families, are recorded country. Among Brazilian fauna, 211 endemic (48.8%), with majority belonging to two families: Chrysopidae 182 in 19 genera, and Myrmeleontidae 88 25 genera. The first discovered Brazil was Climaciella semihyalina (Le Peletier & Audinet-Serville), 1825, by European authors. In fact, authors entirely dominated description during 19th century. Father...
Abstract Male genitalia morphology in Myrmeleontidae has traditionally been insufficiently studied, although it received increased attention for its diagnostic value recent times. A neutral terminology generally applied standard taxonomic practice, yet knowledge of an equivalent and stable across taxa based on comparative missing. Herein a detailed study with examples from most tribes within Myrmeleontidae, including owlflies (Ascalaphinae), attempts to relate external internal genital...
ABSTRACT Coffea canephora (Conilon coffee) has great economic importance for the state of Acre, in northern Brazil. The use insecticides this crop increased considerably recent years. In order to find species green lacewing (Chrysopidae, Neuroptera) with potential biological pest control coffee plantations, we sampled lacewings during one year an experimental plantation Conilon assess diversity, abundance and seasonal occurrence Chrysopidae species. Samplings were carried out weekly using...
A global synonymical checklist of the species and higher taxa insect order Megaloptera is provided. The includes both extant extinct taxa, recognizes 2 families, 4 subfamilies, 48 genera, 425 species, 6 subspecies. Both families (Corydalidae Sialidae), three four subfamilies (Corydalinae, Chauliodinae, Sialinae) are known from species; Sharasialinae (Sialidae) entirely extinct. Country-level geographic distribution data provided for all Synoptic type in family genus groups. Summary given...

Two subfamilies and three genera of Coniopterygidae have been reported to date for Brazil, with a total 44 species. In this paper two new Brazilian species are described from the Coniopteryx Curtis, 1834 Incasemidalis Meinander, 1972-C.

Abstract A new genus of Berothidae (Neuroptera), Speleoberotha gen. nov., with two species from Brazil, mineira sp. nov. and palomae are herein presented. These the first cave-associated ever recorded. The shares some characters extant genera subfamily Cyrenoberothinae, Cyrenoberotha Manselliberotha, other shared three fossil genera, Microberotha, Protoberotha Sibelliberotha. This intermediate nature was reinforced by phylogenetic analyses presented here, which recovered as sister to...
The currently-known extinct Neuropterida fauna of Brazil comprises 18 families, 55 genera and 99 species (Neuroptera: 15 49 genera, 89 species; Raphidioptera: 1 family, 2 5 species, + genus incertae sedis with Megaloptera: Order sedis: genus, species).
