“…Según anotaremos en cada caso, en la mayoría de nuestras especies la hibernación suele producirse en fase de prepupa o de larva, más raramente en fase de pupa, y ocasionalmente en cualquier fase desde huevo a imagos (Lacroix, 1926;Principi, 1956b;Principi & Castellari, 1970;Mantoanelli et al, 2006), éstos con cambios de coloración en algunos géneros, y conocido es el caso de Chrysoperla o Leucochrysa (Lacroix, 1926;Tauber et al, 1986;Duelli, 1999;Duelli et al, 2014;Price et al, 2015, etc. ), aunque larvas de varios géne-ros mantienen su actividad a bajas temperaturas e incluso pasar varios inviernos en esta fase (Nineta, Chrysoperla, Pseudomallada).…”

RESUMENSe revisan las especies de crisópidos presentes en la fauna de la Península Ibérica e Islas Baleares donde, hasta la fecha, están representadas por 50 especies pertenecientes a 13 géneros. Tras una diagnosis de la familia y citar algunos elementos sobre su historial paleontológico y su distribución, se aportan algunos datos generales sobre su morfología y su biología, sus estadios juveniles y comportamiento, y se comenta una breve introducción sobre la historia en el conocimiento de la familia, y en particular en la Península Ibérica y Baleares. Se anotan algunas correcciones en las fechas de publicación de algunos taxa que afectan a la taxonomía, y por ello se propone a Rexa almerai (Navás, 1919) n. comb. como sinónima anterior de Rexa lordina Navás, 1920 n. syn. Se incluye una lista de las especies pertenecientes a la fauna de la Península Ibérica y Baleares, una clave de identificación de los imagos de las subfamilias, géneros y especies citadas, y una clave de sus larvas a nivel genérico. De cada una de estas especies se recopilan y se anotan todas las referencias bibliográficas existentes desde 1972, relativas a las especies de la zona estudiada, tanto con la denominación actualmente aceptada, como de sus sinonimias y/o cualquier otra combinación nomenclatural bajo las cuales han sido citadas. También de cada una de las especies se anotan los datos conocidos y los ahora aportados (299 nuevos ejemplares de 25 especies) sobre su distribución general, aspectos de su morfología externa y/o genital, así como de su variabilidad, estadios juveniles, biología, fenología y distribución altitudinal y geográfica en la península y archipiélago balear, en base a un total de 20.667 ejemplares estudiados.http://lsid:zoobank.org:pub:DAF40D47-BB5B-444B-9A3C-463BBB4F5382Palabras clave: Insecta; Neuroptera; Chrysopidae; Revisión; Taxonomía; Faunística; Morfología; Península Ibérica; Islas Baleares; España; Portugal. SUMMARY Green-lacewings (Insecta, Neuropterida, Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) of the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic IslandsThe present contribution reviews the green lacewing fauna of the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands where, to date, 50 species belonging to 13 genera are known to occur. After a diagnosis of the family Chrysopidae, its paleontological history and distribution, as well as some general data on its morphology and biology, juvenile stages and behavior are presented. This general information is followed by a brief history of studies on the family, and particularly those on the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Some corrections are reported for earlier publications dates that have undergone taxonomical changes. Thus, Rexa almerai (Navás, 1919) n. comb. is proposed as junior synonym of Rexa lordina Navás, 1920 n. syn.; and is included in the list of chrysopid species belonging to the fauna of the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. A key for identifying imagoes of the subfamilies, genera, and species recorded from the region and a generic level key for the larvae are presented. For th...

“…In Neuroptera, Table 1 Number and color of offspring resulting from crosses between hypothesized heterozygous individuals (Gy 9 Gy): yellow (Y) and green (G) female (F) and male (M), and heterozygous green female (GFH) and male (GMH) , although a few stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) can also do this (McPherson, 1977;Musolin, 2012). Because most Chrysoperla species in the temperate zone overwinter in the adult stage (S em eria, 1977), changes to brownish or reddish body color just prior to winter is thought to be an adaption to maintain camouflage in deciduous forest leaf litter (MacLeod, 1967;Tauber et al, 1970;Duelli et al, 2014). These facultative and reversible color changes are largely controlled by changes in day length.…”

“…For example, recessive alleles for yellow body occur in natural populations of Chrysoperla comanche (Banks), Chrysopa oculata Say, and Pseudomallada clathratus (Schneider) Duelli, 1992;Duelli et al, 2014). As a consequence, the yellow morphs of C. externa cannot change color (e.g., yellow to green) during the immature or adult stages.…”

Yellow mutant of the Neotropical green lacewing Chrysoperla externa: trait inheritance and predator performance

The Neotropical green lacewing Chrysoperla externa (Hagen) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) is a key predator of various small soft-bodied pest species. Chrysopidae species are known as 'green lacewings' due to their overall green body coloration. However, yellow mutant individuals were observed emerging from our lacewing rearing colony. Thus, the mode of inheritance of the yellow trait was studied and the hypothesis of an autosomal recessive allele for yellow color was tested using hybridization and backcrossing techniques. Furthermore, the possible implications of this color variation on specific life-history characteristics of C. externa and the predation rates of each morph were evaluated. In both yellow and green morphs, basic life-history characteristics were monitored, including time to hatching and viability of eggs, duration, and viability of larval and pupal stages, emergence rate and survivorship of adults, and fecundity and longevity of females. The yellow and green morphs were indistinguishable with respect to all life-history traits evaluated and the predation rate of their larvae. Crossing experiments revealed the yellow color to be caused by a homozygous recessive allele, without sex-linked expression. We conclude that the allele for yellow color is occurring at high frequency in the laboratory colony, supporting the existence of a genetic polymorphism for body ground color.

“…Using song analysis of progeny grown from field‐collected gravid females, we also determined which other species of the carnea ‐group were associated with C. heidarii at each collecting site. A small number of the offspring of field‐collected C. heidarii were reared from third‐instar larvae until adult eclosion under short‐day, cool conditions (˜8:16 h L:D; 22:16°C warm:cool) to induce winter diapause and concomitant colour changes (Duelli, ).…”

Parallel (or convergent) evolution of vibrational mating songs between species confined to different continents has been found several times in the Chrysoperla carnea species‐group of cryptic (morphologically indistinguishable) green lacewings. Repeated parallel speciation resulting in taxa that differ in duetting songs but not in appearance or ecology suggests an atypical mode of speciation, one that need not involve ecological adaptation. Here we describe an additional example of convergent song phenotypes reflecting parallel nonadaptive speciation, between the common North American species Chrysoperla plorabunda (Fitch) and a newly discovered species that appears to be widespread in western Asia. To support the hypothesis of parallel evolution, we describe the song of the new species in detail, comparing it to that of C. plorabunda and demonstrate their acoustical similarity. Results of song playback trials are then presented, showing that the songs are also functionally (behaviourally) indistinguishable between individuals of both species and could not prevent hybridisation if the two species were sympatric. We demonstrate that the new species is very similar in morphology and ecology not only to C. plorabunda, but also to at least four other species in the carnea‐group that co‐occur with it in western Asia. To reject the alternative hypothesis that C. plorabunda and the new species are alike simply due to common ancestry, we show that they occupy relatively distant positions in a phylogenetic analysis of 4630 base pairs of protein‐coding mitochondrial DNA. We then formally describe the new species as Chrysoperla heidarii sp.n., including with this description observations of its behaviour, ecology and life history.
