2 DENDROLEON FUKOEKI SP. N. FROM LAOS (NEUROPTERA: MYRMELEONTIDAE) Abstract: Dendroleon fukoeki sp. n. is described from Laos and compared to other SE Asian Dendroleon Brauer, 1866, Gatzara Navás, 1915, Layahima Navás, 1912 species and Nepsales calopterus Navás, 1914. Keywords: new species, ant-lion, Myrmeleontidae, Laos Introduction The genus Dendroleon Brauer, 1866 is closely related to Gatzara Navás, 1915. The first has world wide distribution while the second lives only in Asia. More than 50 percentages of known Dendroleon species were described from SE Asia. The number of species was enormously increased due to the intensive research work done in the last two decades (KRIVOKHATSKY 1997, WAN et al. 2004, WANG & WANG 2008, YANG 1986, 1987, 1997, 1999, YANG & WANG 2002). Both genera are separated by the length of posterior and anterior gonapophyses of females and the shape of parameres of males (

STANGE 2004, WAN et al. 2004). The majority of Dendroleon species are medium or large sized species characterized by Dendroleon-type pattern on their wings. Although, these species are usually rare all over the world since their larvae live in special habitats, e.g. Dendroleon pantherinus (Fabricius, 1787) lives in holes of old trees (Brauer 1867), Dendroleon vitripennis (Navás, 1914) is an endemic cave-dwelling species (New 2003) or Gatzara jezonensis (Okamoto, 1910) lives on bare rock covered by lichens (
