Los crisópidos de la Península Ibérica y Baleares (Insecta, Neuropterida, Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)

Abstract

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...

Attraction of green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) to native plants used as ground cover in woody Mediterranean agroecosystems

“…Additionally, regional native species contribute to increasing . In Europe, seven species belonging to this predator 82 group have been characterized (Monserrat, 2016;Noh and Henry, 2010 2016), and the presence of available prey at the preimaginal stage could prompt the 106 appearance of adults in plants containing these arthropods (Schultz, 1988). The 107 fundamental aspects of this tri-trophic relationship are linked to reproduction and 108 feeding.…”

“…C. lucasina was the most abundant species collected, which 300 is probably due to its wide holomediterranean distribution, effective adaptation to 301 high temperatures compared to other species (Thierry et al, 1996) and its preference 302 for spring-flowering herbaceous plants (Paulian, 2001;Villenave et al, 2005). On the 303 other hand, the limited presence of C. pallida could be related to its preference for 304 trees both inside and on the edge of forests despite its visits to herbaceous plants 305 (Duelli et al, 2002;Monserrat, 2016). 306 Fluctuations in the abundance of chrysopid populations over the two years studied 307 could be explained by changes in weather conditions and/or potential prey 308 (Szentkirályi, 2001a) or by the possible differential attractiveness of the surfaces sown 309 during the two years of the study.…”

Phylogeny of pleasing lacewings (Neuroptera: Dilaridae) with a revised generic classification and description of a new subfamily

“…The biology of Dilaridae is poorly documented. The larvae are known for only seven species (Gurney, ; MacLeod & Spiegler, ; Ghilarov, ; Monserrat, , ; Minter, ). Nallachius larvae (Fig.…”

“…Nallachius larvae (Fig. D) are considered to be predaceous and are subcorticolous on dead trees (Gurney, ; MacLeod & Spiegler, ), while the larvae of Dilar are reported from soil samples (Ghilarov, ; Monserrat, ). It is of interest that the adult of Berothella holzschuhi sp.n.…”

“…herein described emerged from a piece of wood. Typically nocturnal, adult dilarids can be collected at lights, while some species are also active in the daytime (Monserrat, ).…”
