Acta Zootaxonomica Sinica , 29 (3) : 509 - 515 (J uly , 2004) ISSN 100020739 动物分类学报 A REVIEW OF THE SPECIES OF THE TRIBE ACANTHACLISINI FROM CHINA (NERUOPTERA, MYRMELEONTIDAE) BAO Rong , WAN G Xin2Li Depart ment of Entomology , China A gricultural U niversity , Beijing 100094 , China Abst ract In this paper five species of the Acanthaclisini from China were reviewed. Acanthaclisis pallida Mclachlan and Stiphroneura inclusa ( Walker) as newly record species are described. Centroclisis negligens (Navás) , Heoclisis kawaii (Naka2 hara) and Heoclisis japonica (Maclachlan) are redescribed. Alloclisis hainanica Yang is p roposed as a new synonym of Centro2 clisis negligens (Navás) and Neriga limoiana Yang a new synonym of Stiphroneura inclusa ( Walker) . A key to Chinese species of Acanthaclisini is given. Key wor ds Myrmeleontidae, Acanthaclisini , new record, China. The Acanthaclisini belongs to the M yrmeleontidae Synclisis Navás , 1919. Bol .

Tibial spurs bent at nearly right angle , or very near basal crossvein; forewin g vein 2A vari2 often with flange. Hindfemur with elongate sensory able ; pretarsal claw strongly arched near base; tibial hair; forewing costal area predominately biareolate; sp urs strongly curved, sometimes bent at ri ght angle claws smaller than tibial sp urs ; pronotum as wide as (Stang , 1994) . The Acanthaclisini contains 18 gene2 long or wider than long; distal labial palp us with an ra , 100 species in the world. The distribution covers elongate slit2like sensoryopening ; male ectop roct with the whole world. The lar gest genus seems to be Centro2 postventral lobe more than 3 times longer than wide clisis with about 50 species ( HÊzel , 1986 ) . Three (Stang & Miller , 1985) . species of the Acanthaclisini have been reported in Distribution. Palearctic Region. China p reviously.
