ÁBRAHÁM L Further data to the ant-lion fauna (Neuroptera) of Socotra Island (Yemen)

ÁBRAHÁM L.: FURTHER DATA TO THE ANT-LION FAUNA OF SOCOTRA 105 Fig. 3: Male and female genitalia of Neuroleon fuscus sp.n. Paratypes: Sometimes dark brown spots below antenna missing and abdomen without yellow spot. Dark pattern variable on legs. Abdomen of female shorter than length of wings. Female genitalia with digging setae (Fig. 3C). Diagnosis: Five Neuroleon taxa have been reported from Socotra so far. At first, TASCHENBERG (1883) described a very characteristic endemic species, Neuroleon socotranus (Taschenberg, 1883) that is easy to identify. Genitalia drawings and a colour photo of this species were published by ÁBRAHÁM (2010). In addition, KIMMINS (1960) (as Neleoma sp. 1 and sp. 2 undetermined material) and WHITTINGTON (2002) (as Neleoma spp. undetermined material) listed these specimens from Socotra but Steffan (1971) combined Neleoma to Neuroleon. According to KIMMINS (1960) the wing pattern of Neleoma sp. 1 is similar to N. pardalice (Banks, 1911) which has distinctive wing pattern so it can not be the same taxon with the newly described species. Also ÁBRAHÁM (2010) reported the first record of Neuroleon sociorum Holzel & Ohm, 1983 from the island, which is a widespread species in Sahara and Arabian Peninsula.
