178 NATURA SOMOGYIENSIS Material and methods In the second half of March in 2009, Dr. Aidas Saldaitis, Lithuanian entomologist, collected insects in Socotra. During his one-week-long fieldwork, he collected a significant Neuroptera material and presented it to the entomological collection of Somogy County Museum (Kaposvár). In nights, he used UV lamp to sample the entomofauna of different habitats of the main island. Results Seven ant-lion and one owl-fly species were collected. One new species and one new subspecies are described. Fifty percentages of the collected species are endemic. Myrmeleontidae Echthromyrmex insularis Kimmins, 1961 (Figs. 1 and 3). KIMMINS 1960, WRANIK 1999, WHITTINGTON 2002 Material examined: 3<J 1$ Island C. Sokotra, top of Diksam cayon 2009.03.23. Leg. Saldaitis; 5c? 1$ Island N. Sokotra, Hills near Hadibu 2009.03.21. Leg. Saldaitis; 15c? 3? Island N. Sokotra, S from Di Hamri Rocap loc. 2009.03.26. Leg. Saldaitis It is an endemic species (KIMMINS 1960) in Socotra Archipelago. Its wings is shorter than that of Echthromyrmex platypterus McLachlan, 1867 (Figs. 2 and 4), furthermore its wing-pattern and colour of pronotum are also different. Centroclisis lineata (Kirby, 1903) (Fig. 5). KIRBY 1903 as Acanthaclisis lineata', WEELE (1907) as A. lineata synonym of Centroclisis distincta (Rambur, 1842); KIMMINS 1960 as Acanthaclisis lineata Kirby, 1903, STANGE 2004 p. 344 as Myrmeleon lineata Kirby, 1903 (new comb.) and p. 346 as Centroclisis lineata (Kirby, 1903), Material examined: 2<$ 2$ Island C. Sokotra, top of Diksam cayon 2009.03.23. Leg. Saldaitis; 2S Island N. Sokotra, Hills near Hadibu 2009.03.21. Leg. Saldaitis; 2$ Island C. Sokotra, top of Diksam valley 2009.03.22. Leg. Saldaitis; 1 $ Island W. Sokotra, Shuab loc., coast line mangroves 2009.03.24. Leg. Saldaitis; \S 2$ Island C. Sokotra, Haghier Mt Ayhft valley 2009.03.20. Leg. Saldaitis; 2$ Island N. Sokotra, Haghier Mt. Quadab loc. 2009.03.25. Leg. Saldaitis; 1$ Island N. Sokotra, S from Di Hamri Rocap loc. 2009.03.26. Leg. Saldaitis It seems to be a valid and an endemic species for Socotra. Although, a complete nomenclatural and taxonomical confusion on this species can be found in different papers. At first, this species was wrongly synonymised by WEELE (1907) as Acanthaclisis distincta Rambur, 1842 which the valid name recently is Centroclisis distincta (Rambur, 1842) combined by ESBEN-PETERSEN (1916). Later, NAVÁS (1914) described a new species as Neoclisis lineata Navás, 1914 from Libya preserved the type material in Genova listed by POGGI (1993). According to ASPÖCK et al. (2001) the taxonomical status of this species uncertain, it may be a junior synonym of Centroclisis cervina (Gerstaecker, 1893). BANKS (1930) placed this Libyan species, Acanthaclisis lineata Navás, 1914 to the genus of Centroclisis Navás, 1909 which was a preoccupied name of Acanthaclisis lineata Kirby, 1903 revealed by STANGE (2004) and in the same work it mentioned by STANGE (2004) as "

Myrmeleon lineata Kirby, 1903" which is a wrong combination.
