New faunistic records of Myrmeleontoid lacewings (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae, Ascalaphidae, Nemopteridae) in Armenia

| description | New records of 19 species of myrmeleontoid lacewings (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae, Ascalaphidae, Nemopteridae) of Armenian fauna are presented. In comparison with adjacent Caucasian countries Armenian fauna of antlions, spoonwings and owlflies could be characterized as manifold, organized under the influence
of Anatolian faunistic center. Distoleon laticollis (Navás,
1913), Delfimeus irroratus iranensis (Hölzel, 1972),
D. irroratus morgani (Navás, 1913), Neuroleon tenellus
(Klug in Ehrenberg, 1834), Creoleon griseus (Klug in Ehrenberg, 1834), Libelloides macaronius kolyvanensis morpha alba Krivokhatsky, Bagaturov et Prokopov, 2018 are reported for Armenia for the first time. Here we proposed a new status for three taxa, which are interpreted as subspecies of Delfimeus irroratus (Olivier, 1811): D. irroratus morgani stat. n., D. irroratus iranensis stat. n. and D. irroratus friedeli (Hölzel, 1972), stat. n. All four taxa (including the nominotypical subspecies) differ in the pronotum pattern and the color of wings and have a partially sympatric distribution. The largest representatives (forewing 25 mm) nominotypical subspecies and a small subspecies D. irroratus friedeli with dense venation were not found in Armenia. |
