A revision of the Australian Myrmeleontidae (Insecta : Neuroptera). III.* Distoleontini and Acanthaclisinae

Abstract

The Australian Myrmeleontinae : Distoleontini (64 spp.) and Acanthaclisinae (16 spp.) are revised, and keys and figures provided to enable separation of all genera and species. Two species (Distoleon nefarius Navás, Cosina vaga Nav%aacute;s) have not been confirmed from Australia. New species are described of the distoleontine genera Stenogymnocnemia (one), Xantholeon (four), Stenoleon (five), Escura (six), Bandidus (of which Heteroleon Esben-Petersen is a new synonym) (22) and of the acanthaclisine genera Heoclisis (two) and Cosina (two). A new genus of Acanthaclisinae (Arcuaplectron) is also described.
