(1) The survival of peripheral populations is often threatened, especially in a changing environment. Furthermore, such populations frequently show adaptations to local conditions which, in turn, may enhance the ability of a species to adapt to changing environmental conditions. In conservation biology, peripheral populations are therefore of particular interest. (2) In northern Switzerland and southern Germany, Libelloides coccajus is an example of such a peripheral species. (3) Assuming that suitable oviposition sites are crucial to its long-term survival, we compared oviposition sites and adjacent control plots with regard to structure and composition of the vegetation. (4) Vegetation structure at and around oviposition sites seems to follow fairly stringent rules leading to at least two benefits for the egg clutches: (i) reduced risk of contact with adjacent plants, avoiding delayed drying after rainfall or morning dew and (ii) reduced shading and therefore higher temperatures. -

From Chewing to Sucking Via Phylogeny—From Sucking to Chewing Via Ontogeny: Mouthparts of Neuroptera
Chapter 11 From Chewing to Sucking via Phylogeny—From Sucking to Chewing via Ontogeny: Mouthparts of Neuroptera Dominique Zimmermann, Susanne Randolf, and Ulrike Aspöck Abstract The Neuroptera are highly heterogeneous endopterygote insects. While their relatives Megaloptera and Raphidioptera have biting mouthparts also in their larval stage, the larvae of Neuroptera are characterized by conspicuous sucking jaws that are used to imbibe fluids, mostly the haemolymph of prey. They comprise a mandibular and a maxillary part and can be curved or straight, long or short. In the pupal stages, a transformation from the larval sucking to adult biting and chewing mouthparts takes place. The development during metamorphosis indicates that the larval maxillary stylet contains the Anlagen of different parts of the adult maxilla and that the larval mandibular stylet is a lateral outgrowth of the mandible. The mouth- parts of extant adult Neuroptera are of the biting and chewing functional type, whereas from the Mesozoic era forms with siphonate mouthparts are also known. Various food sources are used in larvae and in particular in adult Neuroptera. Morphological adaptations of the mouthparts of adult Neuroptera to the feeding on honeydew, pollen and arthropods are described in several examples. New hypoth- eses on the diet of adult Nevrorthidae and Dilaridae are presented. 11.1 Introduction The order Neuroptera, comprising about 5820 species (Oswald and Machado 2018), constitutes together with its sister group, the order Megaloptera (about 370 species), and their joint sister group Raphidioptera (about 250 species) the superorder Neuropterida. Neuroptera, formerly called Planipennia, are distributed worldwide and comprise 16 families of extremely heterogeneous insects. -
Checklist of the Belgian Neuroptera
Bulletin de la Société royale belge d’Entomologie/Bulletin van de Koninklijke Belgische Vereniging voor Entomologie, 149 (2013) : 233-239 Checklist of the Belgian Neuroptera Koen LOCK1 & Gilles SAN MARTIN2 1 eCOAST Marine Research, Esplanadestraat 1, B-8400 Oostende (e-mail: [email protected]) ² Walloon Agricultural Research Centre, Life Sciences Department, Plant Protection and Ecotoxicology Unit, Rue de Liroux 2, B-5030 Gembloux, Belgium (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract Historically, Neuroptera received a lot of attention in Belgium by entomologists such as WESMAEL, DE SELYS-LONGCHAMPS, LAMEERE and NAVAS. However, since more than a century, no updated checklist has been published. Recently, only the family Chrysopidae has been studied, while the other families belonging to the Neuroptera hardly received any attention. Here, 56 species of Neuroptera are listed for the fauna of Belgium. Six species are reported here for the first time for Belgium: Coniopteryx (Coniopteryx) borealis Tjeder, 1930, Coniopteryx (Coniopteryx) pygmaea Enderlein, 1906, Semidalis pseudouncinata Meinander 1963 (Coniopterygidae), Psectra diptera (Burmeister, 1839), Wesmaelius (Wesmaelius) quadrifasciatus (Reuter, 1894) (Hemerobiidae) and Libelloides coccajus Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775 (Ascalaphidae). However, the latter one was not included in the checklist because it was not considered as an indigenous species as the only observation was either a vagrant or an imported specimen. Megalomus hirtus (Linnaeus, 1761) was misidentified and it is actually Megalomus tortricoides Rambur, 1842 (Hemerobiidae) that occurs in Belgium. The species complex Chrysopa phyllochroma Wesmael, 1841 and Chrysopa commata Kis & Ùjhelyi, 1965 clearly consists of two species, however, it seems likely that for the description of both species, holotype material of the same species was used and a revision of both species is thus needed. -

This new genus is characterized by a number of extraordinary features in the male and female genitalia, and also in the pattern of larval setation. In the male genitalia, there is a uniquely asymmetrical and intersecting gonapsis; in the female genitalia, a bursa-vela connector, vaginal frame and laminate link are present; and in the first instar, secondary setae occur on both thoracic and abdominal segments. The type species of the monotypic genus is Chrysopa kichijoi Kuwayama, 1936. It is redescribed with emphasis on the adult abdominal hypodermal coloration, female terminalia, and larval morphology (first and third instars), all of which were previously unknown. Several features of the new genus are compared with those of other genera: (i) the mor- phology of the gonapsis in relation to the dorsal membrane of the 9th sternite (ii) the morphology of newly described features (bursa-vela connector, vaginal frame and laminate link), and (iii) the first and third instar patterns of setation. Key words: Chrysopini, genitalia, Japan, kichijoi, Korea, Kuwayamachrysa, larval setation, new combination, new genus, Russian Far East. -

KRÜSI2 1 SKK Landschaftsarchitekten AG, Lindenplatz 5, CH-5430 Wettingen, [email protected] 2 Institut für Umwelt und Natürliche Ressourcen, ZHAW Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wis- senschaften, CH-8820 Wädenswil A comprehensive survey on a threatened owlfly, Libelloides coccajus (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) in the canton of Aargau revealed only two remaining populations. One of them consisted of three sub- populations found within a few hundred meters, and two of them with very few individuals only. Exchanges among the three subpopulations were not investigated but seem likely. Analysis of the cur- rent land use suggests that date of mowing is crucial for the survival of L. coccajus. Mechanical de- struction of egg clutches can be avoided by mowing at the beginning of August or later. Comparison of old and recent maps (1880–2006) of all the surveyed areas revealed that the most frequent change was the replacement of vineyards by grassland. -
Neuroptera: Ascalaphidae), an Extinct Family in Poland, Have Occurred in Poland in the Past?
FRAGMENTA FAUNISTICA 52 (2): 99–103, 2009 PL ISSN 0015-9301 © MUSEUM AND INSTITUTE OF ZOOLOGY PAS What species of owlflies (Neuroptera: Ascalaphidae), an extinct family in Poland, have occurred in Poland in the past? Roland DOBOSZ Department of The Natural History, Upper Silesian Museum, Pl. Sobieskiego 2, 41–902 Bytom, Poland e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Literature data on Ascalaphidae in Poland are critically discussed. Libelloides macaronius has never been found in the present-day territory of Poland . Libelloides coccajus most likely occurred in Poland at the end of the 18th century. Evidence for this statement comprises a drawing and a note in a manuscript of Charles de Perthées from 1802–1803. Key words: Neuroptera, Ascalaphidae, Libelloides coccajus , Libelloides macaronius , Poland, distribution, extinct species. The intensive research on the Neuropterida carried out in Poland up to the end of 1980’s revealed several species new to the Polish fauna. Nevertheless, most of the faunistic data available come from papers written 50 or even 100 years ago. Even if the data from papers published after the end of the Second World War are not to be doubted, the information from earlier times is difficult to verify. The reasons are: lack of voucher specimens and unclear data on specimens mentioned in the papers or presented on the labels. These problems mounted enormously following changes to the borders of Poland due to political and historical changes. Therefore, besides a revision of the scarce specimens and collections available, a review of the bibliographical data presented in this paper, both Polish and non-Polish, must be undertaken before the number and a list of species recorded within borders of Poland up to the Second World War can be presented. -

Ein Gelege war parasitiert von der Erzwespe (Chalcidoidea) Echthroplexis (Coenocercus) puncticollis Thomson, 1876, (Encyrtidae). Diese Parasit-Wirt-Kombination war bisher nicht bekannt. Abstract Two clutches of eggs from a Sulfur Owl (Ascalaphidae) were investigated. Collected in County Wallis in Southern Switzerland they probably belonged to the more frequent speciesLibelloides coccajus. The number of eggs in one clutch proved to be rather fixed. 44 eggs were counted in each of the two clutches. Photos of egg laying Ascalaphid females, published in the internet, show the same number of eggs. Morphological details are described. While one clutch developed regularly, though several larvae did not hatch, the second clutch gave birth to tiny Chalcidoid wasps. These parasitoids were determinated as Echthroplexis (Coenocercus) puncticollis Thomson, 1876, Encyrtidae, This species was known to parasitize inHemerobius only. The parasite combination with Libelloides is new to science.
