Myrmeleontidae (Insecta : Neuroptera) from New Guinea

Abstract

The Myrmeleontidae known from New Guinea are revised, and keys and illustrations provided to facilitate identification of the 17 species. They are referred to 11 genera, and 12 species are not known from elsewhere. Seven species (Mossega – 2, Dendroleon – 1, Bandidus – 3, Stenogymnocnemia – 1) are described as new. Most species are closely related to Australian Myrmeleontidae.
