The larva of Tricholeon relictus Holzel & Monserrat, 2002 a synanthropic antlion (Neuroptera, Myrmeleontidae)

The larva of Tricholeon relictus, a Spanish endemic antlion of Afrotropical affinities, is described and illustrated for the first time also providing a comparison with the only other European member of the tribe Dendroleontini, Dendroleon pantherinus. The larva of this species is synanthropic but probably originally lived in cave-like habitats

Comparative description of larvae of the European species of Distoleon Banks: D. annulatus (Klug, 1834) and D. tetragrammicus (Fabricius, 1798) (Neuroptera, Myrmeleontidae)

The third instar larva of Distoleon annulatus (Klug, 1834) is described for the first time and compared with the larva of the other known species of the genus in Europe: D. tetragrammicus (Fabricius, 1798). Diagnostic characters of the larvae of the genus Distoleon, as well as the interspecific differences, are provided and illustrated. Larvae of Distoleon appear to be morphologically conservative and they are mainly recognized by means of the pigmentation pattern

The larvae of Gepus invisus Navas, 1912 and Solter liber Navas, 1912, a comparative description (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae)

The third instar larvae of Gepus invisus and Solter liber are comparatively described and illustrated for the first time with a particular emphasis on genus level characters. Larval morphology confirms a close relationship between these genera as they differ only in minor characters

Myrmeleon almohadarum sp nov., from Spain and North Africa, with description of the larva (Neuroptera Myrmeleontidae)

A new antlion (Neuroptera Myrmeleontidae Myrmeleontini), Myrmeleon almohadarum sp. nov., is described from southern Spain and Tunisia. The new taxon is closely related to the mostly sympatric M. inconspicuus Rambur and M. mariaemathildae Pantaleoni, Cesaroni & Nicoli Aldini but differing in body pattern, wing venation and larval chaeto-taxy. The validity of the new species is also supported by a phylogenetic analysis based on COI sequences. The larva of this new species is described and compared with congeners. M. almohadarum appears to be associated with sandy environments
