  • the first unusual Hemerobiidae neuroptera from mid cretaceous burmese amber
    Cretaceous Research, 2020
    Co-Authors: Vladimir N Makarkin, Carsten Grohn
    Abstract:

    Abstract Hemeroberotha sinefurca gen. et sp. nov. (Neuroptera: Hemerobiidae) is described from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. It is particularly remarkable for its very short 19-segmented antennae, the apically obtuse terminal segment of the maxillary palpus, the single RP in the forewing, all femora covered with very long thick setae, and elongated (mainly paired) setae on the ventro-distal margins of its tarsomeres. The genus Hemeroberotha probably represents a specialized side branch of basal hemerobiids.

  • a new species of proneuronema neuroptera Hemerobiidae from late eocene rovno amber
    Zootaxa, 2020
    Co-Authors: Vladimir N Makarkin, E E Perkovsky
    Abstract:

    Proneuronema sidorchukae sp. nov. (Neuroptera: Hemerobiidae: Drepanepteryginae) is described from the late Eocene Rovno amber, Ukraine. It is most similar to P. minor from Baltic amber, but easily distinguished from it by some crossveins in the third gradate series of the forewing broadly margined with dark brown, the proximal part of the costal space narrower, and proximal subcostal veinlets more oblique. The new species is the smallest known of the genus, with a forewing length of 5.9 mm. Rovno amber hemerobiids show a tendency to decrease in size compared to congeneric or conspecific specimens from Baltic amber. The morphology and terminology of the mesonotum in Hemerobiidae is discussed.

  • neotype designation and re description of prolachlanius resinatus hagen neuroptera Hemerobiidae from baltic amber with the first record of the species from rovno amber
    Zootaxa, 2019
    Co-Authors: Vladimir N Makarkin, E E Perkovsky, Carsten Grohn
    Abstract:

    Prolachlanius resinatus (Hagen) is re-described, based on five specimens from late Eocene Baltic amber (including the neotype designated herein) and the first recorded specimen from contemporaneous Rovno amber (Klesov locality). This is the most common species of Hemerobiidae in Baltic amber. The forewing venation of Prolachlanius is most similar to that of Sympherobius, and, therefore, its assignment to Sympherobiinae is confirmed. The genus differs from other Sympherobiinae by the distal branch of RP being not deeply forked, and the presence of crossvein 4r-m in the forewing. The male genitalia of Prolachlanius are sufficiently dissimilar from those of other Sympherobiinae to distinguish it as a separate genus, particularly by the structure of the ectoprocts, and the 8th and 9th sternites. The extremely short eighth sternite of Prolachlanius is especially noteworthy.

  • a new genus of Hemerobiidae neuroptera from baltic amber with a critical review of the cenozoic megalomus like taxa and remarks on the wing venation variability of the family
    Zootaxa, 2016
    Co-Authors: Vladimir N Makarkin, Sonja Wedmann, Thomas Weiterschan
    Abstract:

    A new genus and two new species of Hemerobiidae (Neuroptera) are described from the late Eocene Baltic amber, i.e., Proneuronema gradatum gen. et sp. nov. and P. minor gen. et sp. nov. Several Early Eocene species (mostly unnamed) from Europe and North America are also considered to belong to this genus, including Proneuronema wehri (Makarkin et al ., 2003), comb. nov. The new genus is probably most closely related to the extant genus Neuronema McLachlan, 1869, and therefore assigned to Drepanepteryginae. A critical review of Cenozoic taxa of the Megalomus -like hemerobiids is provided. Prophlebonema Kruger, 1923 is considered as a new subjective synonym of Drepanepteryx Leach, 1815. Plesiorobius Klimaszewski et Kevan, 1986 from the Late Cretaceous is considered as belonging to Hemerobiidae. It is noted that wing venation variability in species of Hemerobiidae (including these fossils) is high. Some of their venational abnormalities (anomalies) may have phylogenetic implications.

  • New Early Eocene brown lacewings (Neuroptera: Hemerobiidae) from western North America 653
    2014
    Co-Authors: Vladimir N Makarkin, Bruce S Archibald, John D Oswald
    Abstract:

    systematic position of the genus Cretomerobius within the Hemerobiidae is unclear, but it appears to belong within (or possibly as the sister group to) the poorly differ-entiated Drepanacrinae–Megalominae–Drepanepteryginae grade of subfamilies. Wesmaelius mathewesi is the first fossil species to be assigned, although with some uncertainty, to this otherwise speciose and widely distributed extant genus. It also represents the oldest known material of the subfamily Hemerobiinae. Meso-hemerobius jeholensis Ping is removed from the Hemerobiidae and treated as Neuroptera incertae sedis.

  • new early eocene brown lacewings neuroptera Hemerobiidae from western north america
    Canadian Entomologist, 2003
    Co-Authors: Vladimir N Makarkin, Bruce S Archibald, John D Oswald
    Abstract:

    On trouvera ici la description de deux especes d'hemerobiides provenant des sediments des terres hautes de l'Okanagan dans l'ouest de l'Amerique du Nord, Wesmaelius mathewesi sp. nov. (Quilchena, Colombie-Britannique, Canada) et Cretomerobius wehri sp. nov. (Republic, Washington, Etats-Unis d'Amerique). De plus, un specimen mal conserve (Driftwood Canyon, Colombie-Britannique, Canada) qui est peut-etre un hemerobiide fait l'objet d'une discussion. La position systematique de Cretomerobius au sein des Hemerobiidae est incertaine, mais le genre semble appartenir au grade mal differencie des sous-familles Depranacrinae-Megalominae-Drepanepteryginae ou alors il peut en etre le groupe-soeur. Wesmaelius mathewesi est la premiere espece fossile decrite dans ce genre contemporain, par ailleurs riche en especes et a repartition etendue. C'est aussi le materiel fossile le plus ancien trouve dans la sous-famille des Hemerobiinae. Mesohemerobius jeholensis Ping est retire des Hemerobiidae et traite comme une espece incertae sedis de Neuroptera.

  • a new genus of kalligrammatid lacewings from the middle jurassic of china neuroptera kalligrammatidae
    Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde (B), 2002
    Co-Authors: D Ren, John D Oswald
    Abstract:

    Kallihemerobius pleioneurus n. g. n. sp. is described and illustrated from the Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of eastern Inner Mongolia, China. Kallihemerobius is noteworthy for the pectinate anterior radial trace of its forewing. Although this trait is generally regarded as characteristic of the neuropteran family Hemerobiidae, the new genus is assigned to the family Kalligrammatidae on the basis of other forewing traits. Zusammenfassung Aus der Jiulongshan-Formation (Jura) der ostlichen Inneren Mongolei, China, wird Kallihemerobius pleioneurus n. g. n. sp. beschrieben und abgebildet. Kallihemerobius ist bemerkenswert wegen der pectinaten (kammformigen) Verzweigung des Radius anterior auf dem Vorderflugel. Obwohl dieses Merkmal gewohnlich als bezeichnend fur die NeuropterenFamilie Hemerobiidae betrachtet wird, wird die neue Gattung der Familie Kalligrammatidae aufgrund anderer Merkmale des Vorderflugels zugeordnet.

  • a new brachypterous nusalala species from costa rica with comments on the evolution of flightlessness in brown lacewings neuroptera Hemerobiidae
    Systematic Entomology, 1996
    Co-Authors: John D Oswald
    Abstract:

    . A new flightless hemerobiid species, Nusalala brachyptera, collected at high elevation in Costa Rica, is described and illustrated, and a variety of data relevant to the evolution of flightlessness in the family Hemerobiidae are reviewed. Flightlessness due to brachyptery has evolved independently in at least five monophyletic [= holophyletic] lineages of the family Hemerobiidae (brown lacewings). Volant hemerobiids are primarily foliage foraging arboreal predators [presumed ancestral condition], while flightless species are predominantly associated with terricolous-type microhabitats (e.g. ground-litter, epiphytic mosses) [presumed derived condition]. These differences suggest a significant habitat shift for flightless hemerobiid species, and that the parallel evolution of flightlessness and brachyptery in hemerobiids are shared responses to the conditions of a terricolous existence. The restriction of most flightless hemerobiid species to insular and/or montane/alpine land areas may be related to the typically depauperate nature of the faunas of such areas. This faunal characteristic may facilitate transitions from arboreality to terricolousness by presenting ancestrally arboreal predators such as hemerobiids with novel ecological opportunities in terricolous microhabitats.

  • a new phylogenetically basal subfamily of brown lacewings from chile neuroptera Hemerobiidae
    Insect Systematics & Evolution, 1994
    Co-Authors: John D Oswald
    Abstract:

    A new genus and species, Adelphohemerobius enigmaramus, is described from Chile and assigned to a new subfamily, Adelphohemerobiinae, of the neuropterous family Hemerobiidae (brown lacewings). A cladistic analysis of morphological data derived from the unique female holotype of A. enigmaramus supports the conclusion that it represents the sister-group of the family Hemerobiidae sensu Oswald (1993a). The holotype of A. enigmaramus is interpreted to be the first non-teratological hemerobiid specimen known to possess a single 'radial sector', i.e., only the true ancestral Rs.
