ÁBRAHÁM L. & DOBOSZ D.: Contribution to the ant-lion and owl-fly fauna of Madagascar with description new taxa (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae, Ascalaphidae)

ÁBRAHÁM, L. & DOBOSZ, D.: ANT-LION AND OWL-FLY FAUNA OF MADAGASCAR 111 Comment: The original combination of the species was Stenares grandidieri Weele, 1907 but short time after the description a new combination was designed by BANKS (1913). The genus spreads in South Africa and Madagascar and characterized by divided costal area of the fore wing. The proximal part of costal area is divided at least with two but rather three-row cells. It appears to be an endemic recorded in Madagascan lowland (plain and seashore). Distribution: Prov. Toliara, Toamasina.

Comment: It is a large (length of fore wing: 70-80 mm), very decorative and endemic insect living in western lowland in Madagascar and Europe Island (MANSELL 1996).
