Levente Ábrahám - Xinli Wang: Dendroleon fukoeki sp. n. from Laos (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae)

Her opinion is confirmed by the photos on type specimens. The new species clearly belongs to Dendroleon wearing typical Dendroleon-type pattern on the fore wing. This is one of the largest species (fore wing (fw): 41 mm, hind wing (hw): 42 mm) in the genus. Based on the size of Dendroleon species known from SE Asia, they are divided into two groups. The length of wings is between 22-35 mm in small species {Dendroleon decorillus C.-k. Yang, 1997 (fw: 29 mm, hw: 28 mm), Dendroleon pantherinus (Fabricius, 1787) (Palearctic, fw: 21-32 mm, hw: 20-31 mm), Dendroleon similis Esben-Petersen, 1923 (N China and Mongolia, fw: 21-33 mm, hw: 20-32 mm), Dendroleon esbenpeterseni Miller & Stange in Miller et al., 1999 (Taiwan fw: 35 mm hw: 37 mm), Dendroleon motuoensis Wang Z.-l. & Wang X.-l., 2008 (China: Tibet, fw: 33 mm, hw: 32 mm), Dendroleon javanus (Banks, 1914) (China, Indonesia: Java, fw: 35 mm), Dendroleon regius (Navás, 1914) (India: Sikkim, Indonesia: Sumatra, fw: 35 mm, hw: 33 mm)). The length of wings is between 38-55 mm in the group of large-sized species where the new species belongs (Dendroleon callipterus Wan & Yang in Wan et al., 2004 (China: Guangxi, fw: 38-40 mm, hw: 37-39 mm), Dendroleon Iii Wan & Yang in Wan et al., 2004 (China: Guangxi, fw: 41-43 mm, hw: 39-41 mm), Dendroleon longicruris (C.-k. Yang, 1986) China: Yunnan fw: 43 mm, hw: 41 mm)). These species shows significant difference in wing pattern from new species. The new species has fore wing with dark shadow on both sides of cross-veins while all the known species this area is transparent or with slightly shadowed. The largest species in the genus is Dendroleon vitripennis (Navás, 1912) (fw: 50-52 mm, hw: 47-51 mm) which is an endemic and highly specialized cave-living species in Malaysia. Its analysis is published by KRIVOTHATSKY (1997). The new species is smaller and the elements of the Dendroleon-type pattern is thicker than that of in D. vitripennis. The latest described species from this region is Dendroleon motuoensis Wang Z.-l. & Wang X.-l., 2008 which is smaller than the new species. Frontal black spot in D. motouensis restricted to the under side of scape while in the new species this reach above the scape. Subrhegmal-spot in hind wing, is half-ringed shaped in D. motuonensis while elongated in the new species. Nepsales calopterus Navás, 1914 (fw: 40 mm, hw: 39 mm) from SE Asia was synonymised by BANKS (1929) under Gatzara insolita (Walker, 1860). Both type specimens (Nepsales calopterus Navás, 1914 (coll. Naturhistorisches Museum Wien) Gatzara insolita (Walker, 1860) coll. The Natural History Museum, London) were checked and compared to each other again thus the present status of Nepsales calopterus Navás, 1914 is confirmed. Although, the new combination (STANGE 2004) remains uncertain because the abdomen of Nepsales calopterus 52
