UDC 595.741 (47+57) NEUROPTERA OF THE USSR, II. DILARIDAE, BEROTHIDAE, AND SlSYRlDAE * A. V. ZAKHARENKO V. V. Dokuchaev Khar'kov Institute of Agriculture DILARIDAE Handlirsch To the DiZaridae belong those Neuropterans which have the following character- istics: head without ocelli; 3 hairy protuberances on vertex resembling ocelli; d antenna pectinate (Fig. 2), antenna moniliform (Fig. 3); veins Sc and R not co- alesced at P tip of the wing; cell Sc with several transverse veins (Fig. 1); d ter- gite very large, ectoproct weakly developed (Fig. 4); P with well developed oviposi- tor (Fig. 7). The Dilaridae are small insects with forewing 3-16 mm long. They are distributed mainly in the Northern Hemisphere with 50 known species in 2 subfam- ilies. The taxonomical position of the family is not clear; there is a possibility of its relation to the Berothidae and Mantispidae. Data on the composition of the DiZaridae in the USSR are scanty. Hagen (1858) described DiZar turcicus from specimens from Turkey and Armenia. Navss (1911, 1912) noted this species for Crimea and described D. septentrionalis from the Far East. Gilyarov (1962) observed larvae D. turcicus in Krasnodar Territory and finally Asp'dck and AspSck (1967) described D. kirgisus from the USSR. Study of the collections of the Institute of Zoology, Acad. of Sciences USSR, the Museum of Zoology of Moscow University and our own collections led to the confirmation of these species in the USSR and to clarification of their distribution. Since positive identification of the species of the family is possible only through the d genitals, we are giving be- low figures of the d 9th tergite and genitals. Natural habitat of Dilaridae in USSR do not overlap, but there is the possibility of finding in USSR other species of the family, making it necessary to know the distinguishing characters of the genitalia.
