Contributions to the taxonomy and faunistics of the spongillafly genus Sisyra Burmeister, 1839 (Neuroptera: Sisyridae)

Abstract

A new faunistic record and the description of a new species of Sisyra Burmeister, 1839 (Neuroptera: Sisyridae) are presented in this paper: Sisyra bureschi Rausch et Weißmair, 2007 is reported for the first time from Sweden, and Sisyra mononoke sp. nov. is described from India, Kashmir. Additionally, Sisyra flavicornis Comstock, 1918, a species described from India, is proposed to be removed from Sisyra.

Based on the consecutive reports of its occurrence in several European countries, Sisyra bureschi is considered as a widespread species in Europe.…”
