“…Henwood (1977: Fig. 9) illustrated a female from Maiduguri, Borno State, as Palpares radiatus Rambur, 1842, which can now be attributed to Palpares longimaculatus, recently described by Akoudjin & Michel (2011). P. radiatus is a species found in dry savannahs, occurring from Senegal and Mauritania to Chad.…”

“…Genus Capicua Navás, 1921 This is a new genus for the fauna of Nigeria. Michel & Akoudjin (2011) revisited the genus Capicua, challenged the synonymy with genus Geyria proposed by Stange (2004), ascertained its validity, and described two new species, both from Mali and Burkina Faso. Both are reported here from Northern Nigeria.…”

Investigation of a large collection of Neuroptera from Northeastern Nigeria stored untouched in alcohol for four decades in the National Museum of Natural History, Sofia, provided the opportunity to examine unpublished specimens and conduct a thorough review of published literature, establishing the first comprehensive inventory of Ascalaphidae, Palparidae, and Myrmeleontidae of Northeastern Nigeria to date. Specimens had been collected between 1976 and 1978 in Northeastern Nigeria, mostly in Jos City and Plateau State. Five species of Ascalaphidae, four of Palparidae, and 26 of Myrmeleontidae were identified. Bankisus beroni sp. n. and Creoleon nigrithorax sp. n. are described. Gymnoleon gaillardi is not considered a synonym of Gymnoleon exilis and a new synonymy is established: Gymnoleon externus (Navás, 1911) (= Gymnoleon gaillardi Navás, 1912, syn. n.). An examination of unpublished specimens in museum collections and an exhaustive literature review were conducted in order to draw up a comprehensive inventory of the fauna of Northeastern Nigeria, which to date comprises 11 species of Ascalaphidae, 12 species of Palparidae, and 34 species of Myrmeleontidae, of which one species of Ascalaphidae, two species of Palparidae, and 16 species of Myrmeleontidae, as well as the genera Brevibarbis, Bankisus, and Capicua, had not been reported to occur in Nigeria. The chorological information on the genus Bankisus is reviewed, the ranges of the species are critically discussed and corrected, and all known localities are indicated on a map. Bankisus oculatus is reported for the first time from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The first recording of Centroclisis lineatipennis in West Africa is reported. Palpares cataractae and Palpares radiatus are deleted from the list of Nigerian fauna. With these new records, the known ranges of eight species are extended by more than 1400 km. In the process of assessing the geographical distribution of species present in Northeastern Nigeria, six species, as well as the genera Myrmecaelurus and Cueta and the tribe Nesoleontini, are reported for the first time from Burkina Faso.

“…Over 190 papers addressing Neuroptera and Raphidioptera have been published in Zootaxa (29 of them are open access), but we do not list individually list those papers here. However, one of us (AL) has been the subject editor of the section since 2015 and has been able to directly follow its quantitative and qualitative growth in various sectors related to fauna (Canbulat, 2007;Garland & Kevan, 2007;Hassan et al, 2019), larval morphology (Satar et al, 2007, Zhang et al, 2013, Badano & Pantaleoni, 2014aTauber, 2014;Matsuno & Yoshitomi, 2016;Zheng & Liu, 2020;Tauber et al, 2020), biology (Devetak et al, 2010(Devetak et al, , 2013Tauber et al, 2012), the solution of nomenclatural problems (Tauber & Flint, 2010;Michel & Akoudjin, 2011;Mochizuki et al, 2017;Tauber et al, 2018, Pantaleoni & Loru, 2018Duelli & Obrist, 2019, Duelli & Henry, 2020, and local family reviews (Zhang et al, 2014a, b;Ardila-Camacho & Garcia, 2015;Carvalho Assmar & Falcão Salles, 2017;Bakkes et al, 2017;Li et al, 2018).

In the first twenty years of the publication of Zootaxa, more than two hundred papers have appeared in this journal that address the Neuropterida, which collectively includes the [Neuroptera+Raphidioptera]+Megaloptera sections (initially “Minor orders” section). A dozen submitted manuscripts were rejected before the review process, and another dozen submissions were rejected following the peer review process. Additional content and general submission history of these contributions is summarized here. These various contributions highlight the growing body of research on the Neuropterida and the importance of Zootaxa as a key journal for publishing and disseminating this research.
