Ábrahám L.: "On the other hand, what is this Eastern aeschnoides?" Morton 1926 - an undescribed Palpares species from the Eastern Mediterranean (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae)
94 Natura Somogyiensis After all, the size, pattem and colour of the new species resemble to Palpares hispanus (Fig. 39) but it is not yet clear, whether the areas of the two species overlap or not in Egypt. Based on the shape of ectoproct processus males of two speies are easily distinguished. The proximal part of processus of Palpares assyriorum (Figs 25-26) is considerably shorter and the distal part of processus is longer than those of Palpares hispanus (Figs 27-28). The two species differ in the shape of gonarcus and parameres, too, see Figs. 32-36. To distinguish from each other the females of two species is not easy in many cases, the identification requires several morphological characteristics of co-occurrence examination. The comparative matrix of morphological features (Table 1) helps the identification. In the Eastern Mediterranean Palpares geniculatus Navás, 1912 especially the female is also similar to above mentioned species but it is easily distinguished on the shape of apical spot of hind wing and abdomen pattem. Since the large morphological similarities among species are present, there are numerous misidentified specimens in the faunistical data (eg. Stitz 1912, Pongrácz 1923) to which Krivokhatsky (2011) also called the attention.
