The First Green Lacewings from the Late Eocene Baltic Amber
The first green lacewings from the late Eocene Baltic amber VLADIMIR N. MAKARKIN, SONJA WEDMANN, and THOMAS WEITERSCHAN Makarkin, V.N., Wedmann, S., and Weiterschan, T. 2018. The first green lacewings from the late Eocene Baltic amber. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 63 (3): 527–537. Pseudosencera baltica gen. et sp. nov. of Chrysopinae (Chrysopidae, Neuroptera) is described from Baltic amber. Additionally, another species, Nothochrysa? sp. (Nothochrysinae), is left in the open nomenclature. Pseudosencera bal- tica gen. et sp. nov. represents the oldest confident record of Chrysopinae. The new genus lacks the apparent forewing intramedian cell, and possesses three character states not found in other Chrysopinae: the simple AA1, the short basal crossvein between M and Cu, and 5‒6 rings of setae on the antennal flagellomeres. This genus is probably a special- ised form in a basal branch of Chrysopinae, that could not be attributed to any of the known tribes. The specimen of Nothochrysa? sp. consists only of fragments of the forewings. The late Eocene Baltic amber represents the oldest horizon where Chrysopinae and Nothochrysinae are found to coexist. It is highly likely that Chrysopidae were extremely rare in these forests. Key words: Neuroptera, Chrysopinae, Nothochrysinae, Cenozoic, Baltic amber. Vladimir N.

E-mail: [email protected] 2 Universidade Estadual Paulista, Jaboticabal, São Paulo, Brazil (deceased) Abstract Titanochrysa Sosa & Freitas is a new genus of Neotropical Chrysopini (Chrysopidae: Chrysopinae) recorded from Costa Rica, Venezuela and Brazil. Titanochrysa gen. nov. shares several external and genitalic characters with Ceraeochrysa Adams, 1982; Chrysopodes Navás, 1913; Cryptochrysa Freitas & Penny, 2000; Parachrysopiella Brooks & Barnard, 1990 and Ungla Navás 1914. It may be distinguished from those genera by its very long sternite 8+9, sternites 2–8 usually with microtholi, male geni- talia with the dorsal surface of the arcessus striated, gonosaccus well-developed, bearing elongate gonosetae and microsetae, and a spoon-like gonapsis. Herein, Titanochrysa circumfusa (Burmeister, 1939) [= Chrysopodes circumfusa (Burmeister)] comb. nov. and Titanochrysa pseudovaricosa (Penny) [= Ceraeochrysa pseudovaricosa Penny, 1998] comb. nov. were identi- fied; Titanochrysa ferreirai Sosa & Freitas sp. nov. and Titanochrysa trespuntensis Sosa & Freitas sp. nov. were described.

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. -
A Checklist of the Neuropterid Insects of British Columbia (Insecta: M Egaloptera, Neuroptera and Raphidioptera) with a Summary of Their Geographic Distribution
J. ENTOMOL. SOC. BRIT. COLUMBIA 106, DECEMBER 2009 17 A checklist of the Neuropterid insects of British Columbia (Insecta: M egaloptera, Neuroptera and Raphidioptera) with a summary of their geographic distribution GEOFFREY G.E. SCUDDER1 and ROBERT A. CANNINGS2 ABSTRACT The Neuropterid orders in British Columbia consist of the Megaloptera, Neuroptera and Raphidioptera. Twelve families containing 89 species are represented. The distribution of these species is documented with reference to the 9 terrestrial ecoprovinces in British Columbia. Collection localities are given for species represented by 5 or fewer sites. Four species, 2 of Coniopterygidae and 2 of Hemerobiidae, are considered alien intro- ductions. INTRODUCTION The first list of British Columbia (BC) order, the Neuroptera. Most of the more neuropterid insects was published by recent research on these 3 taxa in BC, Spencer (1942) at a time when the 3 orders which include both aquatic and terrestrial in this group of insects that occur in the species, was summarized by Cannings and province (Megaloptera, Neuroptera and Scudder (2001) and Scudder et al. (2001). Raphidioptera) were considered as a single M ATERIALS AND M ETHODS The list of species here considered as recorded. An ecoprovince is an area with occurring in BC follows the classification consistent climatic or oceanographic, to- of Oswald and Penny (1991) and Penny et pographic and geological history al. (1997), with some nomenclature (Meidinger and Pojar 1991, Demarchi changes published since. In the recent lit- 1996). There are 10 ecoprovinces in BC; erature, Garland and Kevan (2007) have their size and broad internal uniformity discussed the Chrysopidae, and Cannings make them ideal units for the general dis- and Cannings (2006) the Mantispidae. -

E-mail: [email protected] 2Laboratório de Entomologia e Fitopatologia, CCTA, Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense, Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 28013-602. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This report provides new information on three facets of a recently described Neotropical genus of chrysopine lacewings, Titanochrysa Sosa & Freitas 2012. First, because the current taxonomic understanding of the genus is based entirely on the adult stage, we describe the larvae and aspects of the biology of Titanochrysa trespuntensis Sosa & Freitas. We show that although T. trespuntensis larvae share many morphological and behavioral characteristics with other Neotropical gen- era of Chrysopini, they also differ significantly in many generic-level characters. Their unique suite of larval features pro- vides strong support for the designation of this group of lacewings as a genus. Second, Titanochrysa is known to contain four species; this report describes the adult of a fifth species—Titanochrysa simpliciala New Species, from Costa Rica. Third, the report presents new locality records for three of the original four Titanochrysa species and deals with several taxonomic issues. Specifically, (a) Chrysopa annotaria Banks is transferred to the genus; thus the valid name for the spe- cies becomes Titanochrysa annotaria (Banks), New Combination. -

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. -

Once again, I remember to all of you that this is NOT a formal journal for sharing scientific researches! Prof. Principi and I Only few weeks before next neuropterological symposium in Mexico: I have unsuccessfully tried to get contributions for “Who is who in neuropterology” and “Nouvelles frontiers” sections from the organizers of this important appointment, so this time that sections are not present. Any voluntary and willing contributions for next issue of LN will be greatly appreciated! From Rinaldo Nicoli Aldini So don’t hesitate and go on to send any kind of pleasant and informal news for the next issue! Please send all communications concerning Lacewing News to [email protected] (Agostino Letardi). Questions about the International Association of Neuropterology may be addressed to our current president, Dr. Michael Ohl ([email protected]). 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. -

Biodiversity Data Journal 3: e4830. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.3.e4830 Abstract Fauna Europaea provides a public web-service with an index of scientific names of all living European land and freshwater animals, their geographical distribution at country level (up to the Urals, excluding the Caucasus region), and some additional information. The Fauna Europaea project covers about 230,000 taxonomic names, including 130,000 accepted species and 14,000 accepted subspecies, which is much more than the originally projected number of 100,000 species. This represents a huge effort by more than 400 contributing specialists throughout Europe and is a unique (standard) reference suitable for many users in science, government, industry, nature conservation and education.
