Levente Ábrahám–Zoltán Papp: Mantispids species in the Hungarian fauna with some taxonomical remarks (Neuroptera: Mantispidae)

The Mantispa lobata is put into a new status and brought to a species position, then identified with the Mantispa mandarina described also by NAVAS in 1914, so it's synonymized. Therefore the valid name of Mantispa mandarina is Mantispa lobata NAVAS, 1912 (ZAKORENKO 1987). The Mantispa perla var. adelungi (=M. lobata) is a new synonym name. Zakorenko made the comparison on the syntypes. POIVRE (1983) brings the Mantispa perla var. icterica name to a species status. He identifies this species with Mantispa mandarina NAVAS, 1914 so he doesn't deal with it in his works. In eastern part of Palearctic region this species has been separated, not cleared up, yet. So, Mantispa japonica McLACHLAN, 1875 is considered as Mantispa perla or Mantispa icterica (=lobota) by MAKARKIN (1990) According to the rules of taxonomy the species (Mantispa lobata) is put to a new status by Zakorenko is a new synonym name. Mantispa icterica (PICTET, 1865) Mantispa perla var. icterica PICTET, 1865 Mantispa perla var. adelungi NAVAS, 1912 Mantispa mandarina NAVAS, 1914 Mantispa lobata NAVAS, 1912 - syn. no v. It is apparent that the Mantispa perla and the Mantispa icterica are politypical and their revisions are unsolved. There was no way to compare the holotypes and the aim of our essay was not to make taxonomic and nomeclature revisions.

Practically it can be found anywhere in Hungary, but its characteristic habitat is on the dry, warm open-floral covered places. It lives in the low vegetation and occurs on sandy, limestone locolities and sunny slopes. There's no barrier vertically for this species in Hungary. It could be caught on the ski-run of Kékestető (1000 m), as well as in the sands of Kiskunság (Ágasegyháza 100 m). Its larva grows in the coccon of spiders moving on the ground. The acitivity graph of the mature insects was summarized by the collecting information in a way that the days and months of collecting were considered (Fig. 1.) Fig. 2. shows the collecting sites in Hungary. 70
