E-mail: [email protected] 2CIRDES, BP 454, Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Neuroleon species of sub-Saharan West Africa are reviewed. Eight species are recorded: N. drosimus Navás, N. lap- idarius nov. sp., N. modestus (Navás), N. nubilatus (Navás), N. rapax nov. sp., N. raptor nov. sp., N. pardalice (Banks), and N. ruber nov. sp. A ninth species, N. nigericus Navás, of which no specimens could be examined, is tentatively main- tained in the genus Neuroleon pending examination of the type. Three new synonymies are established. Seven species are removed from the genus Neuroleon. N. pardalice is recorded from the region for the first time. The species are illustrated and keyed. Key words: Antlion, Afrotropical Region, Myrmeleontinae, Nemoleontini Introduction This contribution to taxonomic knowledge of the antlions of West Africa deals with the genus Neuroleon Navás, 1909, which was described including the following species: N. arenarius (Navás, 1904) (a replacement name for Myrmeleon variegatus Rambur, 1842, nec Klug, 1839), N. ochreatus (Navás, 1904), N sticticus (Navás, 1903) (= N. egenus (Navás, 1914a), a preoccupied name), and N. distichus (Navás, 1903), without designating a type species for the new genus.

  • GIS-Based Modelling Reveals the Fate of Antlion Habitats in the Deliblato Sands Danijel Ivajnšič1,2 & Dušan Devetak1
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN GIS-based modelling reveals the fate of antlion habitats in the Deliblato Sands Danijel Ivajnšič1,2 & Dušan Devetak1 The Deliblato Sands Special Nature Reserve (DSSNR; Vojvodina, Serbia) is facing a fast successional process. Open sand steppe habitats, considered as regional biodiversity hotspots, have drastically decreased over the last 25 years. This study combines multi-temporal and –spectral remotely sensed data, in-situ sampling techniques and geospatial modelling procedures to estimate and predict the potential development of open habitats and their biota from the perspective of antlions (Neuroptera, Myrmeleontidae). It was confrmed that vegetation density increased in all parts of the study area between 1992 and 2017. Climate change, manifested in the mean annual precipitation amount, signifcantly contributes to the speed of succession that could be completed within a 50-year period. Open grassland habitats could reach an alarming fragmentation rate by 2075 (covering 50 times less area than today), according to selected global climate models and emission scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). However, M. trigrammus could probably survive in the DSSNR until the frst half of the century, but its subsequent fate is very uncertain. The information provided in this study can serve for efective management of sand steppes, and antlions should be considered important indicators for conservation monitoring and planning. Palaearctic grasslands are among the most threatened biomes on Earth, with one of them – the sand steppe - being the most endangered1,2. In Europe, sand steppes and dry grasslands have declined drastically in quality and extent, owing to agricultural intensifcation, aforestation and abandonment3–6.

  • Bergmann's Rule in Larval Ant Lions
    Ecological Entomology (2003) 28, 645–650 Bergmann’s rule in larval ant lions: testing the starvation resistance hypothesis AMY E. ARNETT andNICHOLAS J. GOTELLI Department of Biology, University of Vermont, U.S.A. Abstract. 1. Body size of the ant lion Myrmeleon immaculatus follows Bergmann’s rule – an increase in body size towards higher latitudes. The hypothesis that ant lion body size is larger in the north as an adaptation for starvation resistance was tested. 2. In a laboratory experiment testing starvation resistance, survivorship curves differed among 10 ant lion populations for both a starved and a fed treatment. 3. The average number of months survived by each population was correlated positively with latitude for both treatments. Across both treatments and all populations, large individuals survived longer than small individuals; however individuals from high latitudes had higher survivorship, even after factoring out variation due to initial body size. 4. These results suggest that starvation resistance may be an adaptation for coping with reduced prey availability in high latitudes. Starvation resistance may contribute to latitudinal gradients in body size of ant lions and other ectotherms. Key words.

  • Modulation in the Feeding Prey Capture of the Antlion, Myrmeleon Crudelis
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Modulation in the Feeding Prey CaptureoftheAnt-lion, Myrmeleon crudelis à ERIC PATTEN LAMBERT , PHILIP JAY MOTTA, AND DAYV LOWRY Department of Integrative Biology, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida ABSTRACT Ant-lions are pit-building larvae (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae), which possess relatively large mandibles used for catching and consuming prey. Few studies involving terrestrial arthropod larva have investigated prey capture behavior and kinematics and no study has shown modulation of strike kinematics. We examined feeding kinematics of the ant-lion, Myrmeleon crudelis,using high-speed video to investigate whether larvae modulate strike behavior based on prey location relative to the mandible. Based on seven capture events from five M. crudelis,thestriketook 17.6072.92 msec and was characterized by near-simultaneous contact of both mandibles with the prey. Modulation of the angular velocity of the mandibles based on prey location was clearly demonstrated. M. crudelis larvae attempted to simultaneously contact prey with both mandibles by increasing mean angular velocity of the far mandible (65721 rad secÀ1) compared with the near mandible (35714 rad secÀ1). Furthermore, kinematic results showed a significant difference for mean angular velocity between the two mandibles (Po0.005). Given the lengthy strike duration compared with other fast-striking arthropods, these data suggest that there is a tradeoff between the ability to modulate strike behavior for accurate simultaneous mandible contact and the overall velocity of the strike. The ability to modulate prey capture behavior may increase dietary breadth and capture success rate in these predatory larvae by allowing responsive adjustment to small-scale variations in prey size, presentation, and escape response.

  • Preference of Antlion and Wormlion Larvae (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae; Diptera: Vermileonidae) for Substrates According to Substrate Particle Sizes

Neuroptera, Myrmeleontidae, Diptera, Vermileonidae, antlions, wormlions, substrate particle size, substrate selection, pit-builder, non-pit-builder, habitat selection Abstract. Sand-dwelling wormlion and antlion larvae are predators with a highly specialized hunting strategy, which either construct efficient pitfall traps or bury themselves in the sand ambushing prey on the surface. We studied the role substrate particle size plays in these specialized predators. Working with thirteen species of antlions and one species of wormlion, we quantified the substrate particle size in which the species were naturally found. Based on these particle sizes, four substrate types were established: fine substrates, fine to medium substrates, medium substrates, and coarse substrates. Larvae preferring the fine substrates were the wormlion Lampromyia and the antlion Myrmeleon hyalinus originating from desert habitats. Larvae preferring fine to medium and medium substrates belonged to antlion genera Cueta, Euroleon, Myrmeleon, Nophis and Synclisis and antlion larvae preferring coarse substrates were in the genera Distoleon and Neuroleon. In addition to analyzing naturally-occurring substrate, we hypothesized that these insect larvae will prefer the substrate type that they are found in.

KLJUŒNE BESEDE: Neuroptera, volkci, Myrmeleontidae, Dendroleon pantherinus, razøirjenost, Slovenija Introduction Antlions (Myrmeleontidae) are medium-sized to large neuropterans, widely dis- tributed in warmer and dry regions. About 2000 valid species in ca. 350 genera are known (Aspöck et al., 2001; Stange, 2004). In Europe, there have been ca. 50 species recorded (Aspöck et al., 2001; Pantaleoni et al., 2010). In the northwestern part of the Balkan Peninsula, 19 species in 13 genera occur (Aspöck et al., 1980, 2001; Devetak, 1992a).
