New records of pleasing lacewings (Neuroptera, Dilaridae) from São Paulo state, Brazil

Abstract

This note extends the geographic range of Nallachius adamsi Penny, 1981, N. dicolor Adams, 1970 and N. phan tomellus Adams, 1970 to São Paulo state, Brazil, based on the examination of specimens obtained in an area of riparian forest (21°36ʹ47ʺ S, 047°49ʹ04ʺ W, ca 532 m above sea level) at the Estação Ecológica de Jataí, in the municipality of Luís Antônio.

Unknown diversity: survey of Neuroptera (Insecta) in Paraná, southern Brazil, reveals 14 species newly recorded from the state and country

“…This family is widely distributed in Brazil, with 46 species and four genera known: Coniopteryx, Neoconis Enderlein, 1930, Semidalis Enderlein, 1905, and Incasemidalis Meinander, 1972; the latter genus was only recently reported from Brazil by Martins and Amorim (2016), which demonstrates the poor knowledge of this family in the country. The least abundant family in our study was Dilaridae, which is a rare group of insects in entomological collections and biologically little-known, especially the adults (Lara and Perioto 2017). The family is represented by four genera worldwide, but Nallachius is the only genus occurring in Brazil and distributed in all regional divisions of the country, with 11 species known (Machado and Rafael 2010b).…”
