INTRODUCTION

The family Hemerobiidae is one of the more interesting ones within the order Neuroptera due to its wide (almost cosmopolitan) geographical distribution, its high number of species and individuals that usually makes up its populations, and in particular because of its importance in the control of srnall phytophagous pests.

The taxonomy and systematics of this family have been recently trcated at the level of genera (OSWALD, 1993a), however much remains to be studied and done. Frankly, work on global rcvisio11 in the ma.jority of the genera is scarce owing to the large quantity of inadequately described and typifyed species. Other genera treated here have never been cited after their initial description, and yet othcrs are very poorly known. The paucity of information available about their morphology, venation, genitalia and variability has brought about mistakes in identification and invites confusion when determining actual geographical distribution. The biology and l~u-val stages of

most specier are ~~nknown; hence one may conclude that the taxonomic ancl systematic situation of the species of this family is very incomplete and fragmentary.

In this current contribution, we are attempting to give new data on taxonomy, geographical distribution, biology, morphology and variability of some poorly known or new species of this family.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Material from many collections and institutions has been studied. To indicate where this material is located and to which institution it belongs the following abbreviations are employed:

(BENHS): British Entomological and Natural History Society (Reading). (CAS): College of Agric~~ltural Sciences (Clemson). (FSCA): Florida State Collection (Gainesville). (HH): H.Hiilzc1 Collection (Bruckl). (HNHM): Hungarian Natural History Museunl (Budapest). (MBE): Museum fur Naturkunde der Humboldt Universitiit (Berlin). (MG): Museo Civico di Storia Naturale "G. Dorin" (Genoa). (ML): Rijks~nuseu~n Van Natu~~rlijke Historic (Leiden). (MP): Museunl National d7Histoire Naturelle (Paris). (MZB): Museu dc Zoologia (Barcelona).

(TM ): Transvaal Museum (Pretoria). (UL): Universidad de La Laguna (Tenerife). (VM): Author's collection, Universidad Complutense (Madrid).

For the enurnmeration of the studied material, the contributed data are recorded alphabetically and chronologically sing the following order: the country, the state, the county, the province or islands, locality of the capture, date of capture, number of dd and of 99 studied, data on biology, the collector and institution to which the material belongs (using aforementioned abbreviations). While listing the rnaterial studied. an asterisc (*) is used to indicate the countries where the included species where previously unknown; a male symbol (d) , a female symbol (9) and (w) denote those specimens 9:':) chosen to serve for figures of male genitalia, fernale genitalia or wing morphology respectively. For anotation of type material data, the data entered on each specimen's label will be seperated with bars.

The terminology u\ed for the venation, terininalia and male and female genitalia of the different species studied is that which is used for this fanlily by TJEDER (1961) and ASPOCK et al. (1980). The sy4tematic order follows OSWALD (1993a) and subsequent contribulions wich appeared in OSWALD (1993b, 1994).

P.~ectr-c~ iniquci (Hagen. 1 859)

Specie? known from Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Indonesia (Bali), Taiwan and Ryukyu. The morphology and genitalia of this species have not been described at great length. even though it is a specie\ with many synonymies hence having many contributions of data on its morphology (NEEDHAM, 1909; NAKAHARA. 1960, 1966; MONSERRAT, 1990, etc.). On the basis of type material and the new material, new data are noted in respect to its morphology, male genitalia and biology.

Redescription:

Head with yellowish vertex encircled entirely by a dark brown band which comes out of the toruli. Parallel to this band, is another similar one which comes from the posterior margin of the eye and goes towards the posterior margin of the head, where after turning, it runs the length of the ventral hind margin of the head. Both bands continue over the genae to the other side of the eyes, becoming more shiny and not as individualized. The front is darker than the vertex. The palps are dark brown, except the apices which are yellowish. The eyes are dark, the antennae have a globular scape, proportionately small and arched toward the outside in dorsal view, the pedicel is spherical, both segments, especially the scape are yellowish and have a dark brown band on their dorso-lateral side, i t is somewhat oblique in the scape, and more extensive over the basal zone in the pedicel. The tlagelomera are yellowish brown with white setae.

The thorax with trapezoid shape prothorax, has convex anterior and external margins. The lateral lobes are semispherical and yellowish. The dorsal region has two longitudinal dark brown bands. The pterothorax is brown with paler zones irregularly placed. The legs are yellowish brown, with the tarsals slightly darker. The wings are ovoiti with a light brown venation and membrane transparent except for a slight brown variegation which is found perpendicular to the longitudinal venation and the other brown. more noticeable spots are placed as indicated by NAKAHARA (1960).

The abdomen is yellowish with many light setae. In the d the 3rd and 4th tergites present a medium slope onto the posterior highly sclerified and brown pigmented margin. All the tergites present a transverse aspect and have a cleft anterior margin being less sclerified the Inore caudal they are (fig. 2). Sternite IX is semieliptic, the 9th tergite is transverse and very narrow with a wide and developed antecosta and lateral processes with their basal portions curved back towards the medial line, and their caudal portion conic and lengthened (fig. 2). The egg-shaped ectoproct has numerous setae in its internal and caudal zones. The cercal callus has 8 trichobotria and the catoprocessus is formed by a pair of pieces rounded at the apex and bearing a tuft of setae. The gonarcus is formed by a pair of globular structures joined at the back leaving a strong cleft between the two (figs. 3, 4). The parameres are completely fused, having a pair of small dorsal denticles (figs. 5, 6). The hypandrium is very developed with two very wide anterior-lateral lobes (fig. 7).

Redescription:

The forewings (fig. 13) have a light brown membrane, almost transparent, only darkened intermittently on C, in the internal and medial gradate\ and in the anal field. The venation is pale brown and light intermittently on C and SC, on the pterostigma, on R and the beginnings of the RS and also lightly on the longitudinal veins. The gradates are brown, especially the intermediate serie4, le\s so the internal ones and almost no brown in the four anterior ones in the external series. The hindwings (fig. 13) have pale brown venation. The C in front of the pterostigmatic region and the longitudinals starting frorn the external gradates are slightly darker. Almost all of the transversals are interrupted by white in the middle.

The rnalc genitalia have a triangular ectoproct with rounded vertices, bearing 16 trychobotria. Sternite IX ha\ a medio-caudal process which bears thick curved setae and two rounded lateral processes that diverge slightly as seen from the ventral view (fig. 14). The gonarcus is arch-\haped and wide in the caudal

view (figs. 15-17), bent and with two triangular processes which go obliquely clown and in until they fuse with the caudal portion of the arcessus which is conical and slightly arched towards the top at its extreme (figs. 15-17). The arcessus is fusiform, somewhat narrowed out in its basal third and slightly sharpened towards its blunt apex (figs. 15-17). The mediuncus is well sclerified. forming two pieces which curve into themselves from above (figs. 15-17) touching the caudal margin of the gonarcus. The parameres are thin and fused in their foremost portion with diverging branches (figs. 18. 19). The hypandriurn is triangular (fig. 20).

Its similarity to M. tiinidus Hagen,1853 and the possible confusion between the two species in the zone has been commented on by MONSERRAT (1993). who notes the main existing differences between the two. New material studied now confirms these differences in female genitalia (in Mic,romlds nutiierosus the 8th tergite is wider, the 9th tel-gite has an acute ventral margin, the lateral processus is shorter and the subgenital plate heart-shaped, almost square). The female genitalia of both species are shown for the sake of co~nparison in figures 21-22. The type Arc-haeomicrom~w japcmicus nom. nud. Ksiiger, 1922 belongs to the species which we are treating.

Redescription:

Head yellowish brown with light setae, genae darker and brown spots or shadows found as indicated: one kidney-shaped one behind the antenna1 orfices, another: transverse on its vertex, two striated on both sides of the median line on the vertex, two triangular ones between the posterior margin of the eye and the vertex, and anteriorly one very wavy wide band of outline oil the enitre occipital margin. The vertex has a inarked central bump of trapezoidal shape from the dorso-anterior view, and subtriangular in dorsal view, it is surrounded by a sunken zone. The scape and pedicel are yellowish. The former has a very convex inside margin. and a straight external one. The pedicel is small and fusifon. The palps are pale brown.

The thorax and abdomen are dark brown with a wide pale well-deliniated band on its median line. The legs are yellowish brown. The fore and middle legs have dark brown markings as follows: basal end and the anterior distal third of the coxa, the trochanter, 1 st. 3rd and 5th lifth of the femur, and I st, 3rd and 5th sixths of the tibiae. The hind legs are similar, except for the femur which lacks the spot at 1st filth, and the tibiae, whose brown spots of the 1st and 3rd sixth are more diguse and lighter. The tarsals are brown. The wings are as shown in figure 24. The longitudinal and costal venation of the forewings is irregularly striated brown. The pterostigrna is indistinct and the brown variagation of the irregular membrane shows brown spots in the prepterostigmatic region between Mp-CUa and on the gradated veins. The latter are all dark brown except the foremost one of the internal series. and the two hindmost ones of the external series which are transparent. The venation and membrane of the hindwings is pale, it is slightly darker at the base of the first radial sectors (in the prepterostigmatic zone), in the apex of the wing and in the anal region (fig. 24).

In the 0 (fig. 25) the tergites are rectangular, proportionately small, larger than the sternites and are also rectangular. The 9th tergite is narrow with a little-marked antecosta that extends towards the front in an obtuse quadrangular process. The ectoproct is subtriangular and has 16 to 18 trichobotr-ia, its caudal angle is obtuse and extends in a short conic catopmcessus (fig. 25). Sternite IX is semicircular and poorly developed (figs. 25, 26). The gonarcus is wide, with a strongly cleft anterior margin (ligs. 27, 28). The mediuncus is thick, subtriangular, and underneath it disposes of an arcessus that is subtriangular in its basal third and conic. and somewhat curved at its end, it bears sparse denticles on its caudal region (f'ig. 27, 28). The parameres are thick and robust, sinuous in the lateral margins and with a deep medial-caudal incision (figs. 29, 30). The hypandrium is subtriangular (fig. 3 1).

Discussion:

Much of the data of the morphology and external pigmentation of M. j~~c.oh.soni brlng to mind M. calid~ls Hagen, 1859, a \peck\ w~dely known from the \outheast of Asia, from Sri Lanka to Japan, even though it is a species with a high margin of varjahjlity (MONSERRAT. 1993); however; the new data added for M. jaco/7.\nrzi seem to di\tingui\h it sufficiently from M. c*aliu'~ts. On the other hand, there are some specie\ of this genus in the mne, whose external 1nor~)hology is similar to the one which we are treating, and whose male genitalia are unknown, therefore, the identity of M. nigrifu.onL\ Bank?, 1937, M. pl(~c.idlls Banks, 1937 or. M. gmtuc Banhs. 1937 as species has already been questioned by MONSERRAT (1993), and its relatlon to M. j~t(.oh\ol~i can not be brought to light yet.

M~~.I^~I)MIII , \ futlfili Monserrat, 1993

This species is known from Papua New Guinea and new specimens collected in this zone may be assigned to it. Its female genitalia distinguish it from that which exists in M. finzicl~~.~ Hagen. 1853 and M. numet~o.sus Navis, 19 10 because the 9th tergite has a highly rounded caudal margin and lacks the lateral process. The subgenital plate is heart-shaped but wider. The female genitalia of all three species are shown for comparison in figures 21-23.

The female genitalia of M. ,fu~zfbi Monserrat, 1993 is cotnparable to that of M. nigr i~ons Banks, 1937, M. pluc.idus Banks, 1937 or M. grnt~ls Banks, 1937, which are species described from the Philippines on the basis of one 9 specimei~ each. The identity of these species has already been questioned by MONSERRAT (1 993), and their relation to M. ,filtzfili still remains unclear.

Diagnosis:

Coincides with that of Berothimerohius n.gen.

Species type: Uerothimerobius retic.ulutu.s n.sp.

Diagnosis:

The forewings (figs. 32, 39) are ovoid with a fairly wide costal field in its basal third and with scarce veinlets which are sometimes bi- or trifurcated. The C vein has apparent trichosores bearing tufts of long thick setae. The humeral vein is present and bears 3 veinlets. The SC and R are far apart throught their entire length. The subcostal field has 9- 1 1 veinlets. The R has two RS of proximate and highly basal origin. The 1st RS has its bifurcation in the distal third. The 2nd RS has 4 series of bifurcations and 8- 12 R-2nd RS veinlets. The transverse veinlets of the wing disc are very abundant in the radial and medial field, they are not

organ~zed in gradated series, but rather are placed irregularly fhiming a reticula and many irregular cell\. 10- 1 1 veinlets exist between R-M. 6-8 veinlet, M-CUa and 1 CUa-Cup. There are very few veinlets in the cubital and anal fields, and in the peripheral /one of the wing. Veins A, , A? and A? are present.

The hmdwings (figs. 32, 39) are spatulated. The C vein has clearly defined trichosores bearing tufts of long and thick setae. SC and R are separated one from the other throughout the entire length, and converge towards the end, there are 2 veinlets between SC-R, 2 between R-RS, 2-3 between the branches of R (in variable position\) and 3 between M-CU.

Discussion:

The one that is given in B. reticu1atu.s n.sp.

Etymology and gender:

The nanie is derived from the fact that several characters are present in this brown lacewing which recall the family Berotl?idre. The gender is masculine.

Diagnosis:

A small species. Forewings 4.5 mm long, hindwings 3.8 inm. Forewings brown speckeled with dark brown, with two RS and many veinlets in the subcostal field as well as in the radial and medial ones which are not organi~ed in gradated series (figs. 32, 39). Legs cursorial and VIII stemite well differentiated.

The head and part of the pronoturn are lost. The thoracic integument is dark brown and very shiny. The pronoturn is apparently transverse. The legs are cursorial, light brown and very hairy, the tarsals are incomplete on all legs. The wings are very irridescent with an undefined pterostigma and nyginata absent (figs. 32, 39). The venation is relatively variable and coincides with what has been given in the description of the genus (figs. 32. 39). The forewings have brown membrane and venation with darker spots at the intersection of most veins. The venation is also darker where it touches the costal vein, and generally has many brown setae with brown and readily apparent points of insertion. Most of the transverse veinlets are almost transparent. The hindwings are spatulate (figs. 32, 39) and lighter than the forewings. The venation is light brown and irregularly striated a darker brown. The area of contact with the costal vein is darker as well (figs. 32, 39).

Male unknown. In the female (figs. 34. 35) the tergites and sternites are [ransversc, the

sternites being larger with the antecosta very pronounced in the first four. Sternite VII has two individualized caudal sclcrites (fig. 35). The 8th tergite is

The 9th tergite is narrow with an ovoid ventral process and very hairy in it\ ventral margin (fig. 34). The ectoproct is ovoid, hardly defined ventrally from the 9th tergite (fig. 34), cercal callus with 18 fine trychobotria. The lateral gonophyses are small and faint, and the circular genital orphice is found among them, surrounded in the forefront by apodemes. The orphice opens onto the bursa copulatryx that is membranous in its basal portion and which gives way to the cylindric and sclerified spermatheca that i:, very coiled into itself and ends in a hairy ringlet (fig. 36).

The digestive track of the studied specimen contained many pollen grain\ which mostly belonged to the Cort~po,\ittr~ (belonging or near to genera Bc1li.t and Sen~c io ) , as well as to fungal hyphae and \mall fragment\ of iiniclentifiable vegetable and anlmal matter.

Discussion:

The variability of the particular venation found within the only known specimen, its difficult interpretation, as well as the lack of male specimens and the lack of the head of the studied specimen make the definitive placement of this genus-species within the family Hernet-obiitl~ze relatively tentative. Surely, certain characters of its wing venation (fig. 32) such as the presence of the wide costal space with bifurcated veinlets, the hurneral vein, the inany transverse veinlets between R-RS. of the two RS, and the three anal veins in the forewings seem to associate it with this family. Nevertheless, the presence of the long nlarginal setae originating in the trichosores in both wings, the orientation of the CUa parallel to the wing margin and the tendency of CUa + C u p to fuse in the hindwings (on the right-wing, and not on the left-wing, see figs. 32, 33), as well as several aspects of the external female genitalia such as the inprecise limits between the ectoproct and the 9th tergite. or the presence o f an individualized sternite VIll serve to associate it with the family Kerotlziu'ne, particularly with the subfanlily Nyrnzirzae Navas with its genus N-ynlla Navas. 1933, which was described from Anatolia as Hemerohiicl~re and later redescribed and transcribed to Berothidc~e by ASPOCK & ASPOCK (1979) and ASPOCK (1989) being extremely interesting as a relation between both fdmilies and within the context which was recently brought up by OSWALD (1993a,b) on the phylogeny of the brown lacewings and evidently this new taxa will be the motive for further studies and opinions.

The characters of wing venation of this new genus-species do not fit in any of the known subfamilies within the Hen~erol?iiclae (OSWALD 1993a, 1994). Perhaps the presence of abundant veinlets in the subcostal field between R-RS and in the wing disc (even without forming gradated series) could relate this new subfamily to the Ilr-e~~arlcptr~-y~qi~zc~e Kriiger (according to OSWAI,D 1993a), however the number of RS differentiates the two.

The shape of the wings of 8. reticulatus n.sp. could call to mind the pilzzling drawing of Orr~ziscoc~erus r~itidipen~zis Blanchard ( 185 1 , fig. 1 1 ), a species of highly controversial taxonomic placement, whose type is still lost and which was also described from specimens collected on S e n ~ c i o in Coquirnbo (Chile). and later was commented on, discussed and placed in ilzcertuc sedis by OSWA1,D (1993a). According to what is known of this species (RLANCHARD 1851, OSWALD 1993a), i t seems to have widening femurs of the forelegs, it does not have a costal field of the hindwings that widens in its basal third and it does not have spatulate hindwings. These facts distinguish it from R. mticulatuLs n.sp. 'These characters together with the presence of the lengthened pronoturn. a prognathous head and antennae with

Journal ol Net~ropterology 2: 45-66 ( 1999) 65

an anterior insertion are reason to think that the species of Blanchard should be treated as a Ber-otlzidue. Collecting new specimens will definitively clear up the placement of this species with other described berothids of the zone and its relation to B. retic~ulntus n.sp.
