bers of the original descriptions are not cited if the species were described before Van der Weele

's monograph (where those are given). The synonymy of neuropteroid genus group names recently was given in the list of Oswald and Penny (1991). In the present paper three generic names and one species name are replaced because of homonymy. Homonymy of generic names was recognised earlier (Oswald and Penny 1991). TAXONOMIC PART ASCALAPHINAE Acheron Lefebvre, 1842 Acheron trux (Walker, 1853) Van der Weele 1909a: 228-230 (Acheron trux). Distribution: Bhutan, Bangladesh, China (Hunan), Continental SE Asia, India, IndoMalayan islands, Japan, Taiwan. Remarks: Ghosh (1988) accepts two (partly synpatric) subspecies: A. trux trux and A trux loquax. The latter was first described as a separate species (Ascalaphus loquax Walker, 1853), but Van der Weele in his monograph (cf.) synonymized it.
