(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.

  • 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.

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.

Questions about the XII IAN Symposium (http://www.neuropterology.unam.mx/) may be addressed to Atilano Contreras-Ramos ([email protected]). Ciao! I remember my first meeting with Prof. Maria Matilde Principi, on 9 March 1977. Back then I was a medical student at the local University in my hometown, Bologna. When I was not in class, I would spend time at the Institute of Entomology, located in the park surrounding the School of Agriculture. I would consult the 1 volumes of its very rich library and cultivate the be very happy to help me. She asked me to passion for insects I’d had since childhood, follow her to her office, to talk about my interest which, at the time, mostly took the form of in lacewings.

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.

  • Névroptères Ascalaphidae NÉVRO
    INSECTES Névroptères Ascalaphidae NÉVRO PT È RES © J.-M. Faton J.-M. © Libelloides longicornis Position systématique Classe : Insecta Ordre : Neuroptera Famille : Ascalaphidae Présentation générale du groupe taxonomique Bien que ressemblant vaguement aux libellules, les Ascalaphes (famille des Ascalaphidae) figurent dans l’ordre des Névroptères, au même titre que les fourmilions (Myrmeleonidae) et les chrysopes (Chrysopidae), caractérisés entre autres par l’appareil buccal particulier des larves et de leurs ailes membraneuses ornées de fortes nervures. A l'état larvaire mais partiellement comme adultes aussi, les Névroptères se nourrissent d'insectes et d'acariens. De ce fait, ils jouent un rôle non négligeable dans la prédation de populations d'insectes parasites des cultures. Les larves sont caractérisées par leurs robustes pinces buccales. La famille des Ascalaphidae comporte 300 espèces dans le monde, mais une quinzaine seulement existerait en France (quelques espèces sont à confirmer). Parmi elles, seules trois espèces s’étendent au- delà du sud de la France : Libelloides longicornis , Libelloides coccajus et Libelloides lacteus . L’espèce la plus répandue en France est Libelloides longicornis , bien reconnaissable à ses nervures alaires jaunes. C’est la seule espèce présente dans la région. Eléments de biologie et d’écologie Les Ascalaphes se reconnaissent facilement parmi les autres Névroptères. Ce sont des insectes assez grands, comme les Myrmeleontidae, mais qui possèdent des antennes très longues et dilatées à leur extrémité en palette ou massue. La tête et le thorax sont très velus, et surtout leurs ailes sont généralement très colorées (fond jaune soufre ou laiteux) : ces insectes sont ainsi les seuls, au sein de cet ordre, à arborer des couleurs vives sur leurs ailes.

  • Ultraviolet Vision in European Owlflies (Neuroptera: Ascalaphidae): a Critical Review

This review critically examines the ecological costs and benefits of ultraviolet vision in European owlflies. On the one hand it permits the accurate pursuit of flying prey, but on the other, it limits hunting to sunny periods. First the physics of detecting short wave radiation are presented. Then the advantages and disadvantages of the optical specializations necessary for UV vision are discussed. Finally the question of why several visual pigments are involved in UV vision is addressed. UV vision in predatory European owlflies of R7 means that the former receives only the longer The European owlflies, like Ascalaphus macaronius, wavelengths, since the short wavelengths are absorbed by A. libelluloides, A. longicornis and Libelloides coccajus the latter.
