SUMMARY

An annotated list and some new faunistic records of Hispaniolan Neuroptera are presented, based on literature records and specimens in the collections of the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D. C. and the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh. Seventeen species are newly recorded here for the island. Fifty-two extant species within 26 genera are known to us. Additionally, three fossil species and four other genera of Neuroptera have been reported from Dominican amber. We provide synonymic, type and distribution data for each species that should enhance the comprehensive characterization of this group in Hispaniola.

INTRODUCTION

The Hispaniolan fauna of Neuroptera has been the subject of only haphazard studies by visiting collectors and entomologists. It appears that a significant number of species still remain to be discovered on the island. Systematic studies on Neotropical Neuroptera have been hindered by the unsettled taxonomic state of several families, making it difficult to be confident about the identity or status of particular taxa. Locally, lack of tradition in faunistic studies and the paucity of research collections necessary for comparative studies have also discouraged work on this group. The first species of Neuroptera reported from Hispaniola was the ascalaphid Ululodes villosus described by BEAUVOIS (1805). Two additional species were described prior to 1900 by WALKER (1853, 1860). The only faunistic study of the Neuroptera of the island was published by SMITH (1931), who was stationed near Port-au-Prince, Haiti while working for the Service Technique du DCpartement de I'Agriculture from July 1928 to March 1930. Smith reported 24 species, most collected in the area of the agricultural station at Damien, based on identifications by Nathan Banks. The recent catalogues of the neuropteran fauna of the New 10 PEREZ-GELABERT, D. E. & FLINT Jr., 0. S.

World produced by PENNY (1977) and PENNY et al. (1997) have summarized the early works on the insular fauna and provided the initial basis for this paper. The Hispaniolan fauna of Neuroptera contains at least 52 extant species placed in 26 genera and 8 families. Seventeen species, six genera and two families are newly recorded here for the extant Neuroptera fauna in the island. Three fossil species, a Hemerobiid, a Coniopterygid and a Myrmeleontid, have been described from Dominican amber. Four other taxa identified only to generic level (Leucochrysa, Coniopteryx, Hemerobius and Mantispa) and the family Ascalaphidae have also been reported in Dominican amber. This list is intended as a useful tool to address more effectively the remaining taxonomic problems involving Hispaniolan neuropterans, encourage their collection and to aid in the discovery of new taxa. We report new materials only for the previously unrecorded genera or species that could be identified with certainty in the collections of the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D. C. and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh. We list all relevant citations of Neuroptera species for the island of Hispaniola. Type data includes kind of type, sex, deposition and type locality. Finally the known general distribution of each species is noted. Institutions and collections holding the types of these species are coded in this paper using the following abbreviations: A.M.N.H. (American Museum of Natural History), New York, U.S.A.; B.M.N.H.
